Palestine Marathon 2014 · 11 April 2014 ·
And my marathon facts for those of you who are interested: Well - I was 7th overall in a time of 3hrs 20mins 46 secs (ok out of 113 finishers - this isn't the London Marathon!) I feel compelled to say that my time might have been quicker - but I had to nip into a grocers store to find a loo - which was occupied and lost me at least 4 mins! There are no portaloos to be found in Palestine! The full results are here: https://app.lap.io/event/2014-palestine-marathon/results?category=RACE-42k
The money raised by Team Amos will be split between their 3 partners in Palestine:
Holy Land Trust works in Bethlehem and across the West Bank to strengthen & inspire local communities with non violent initiatives such as rebuilding demolished homes. T
Wi’am Conflict Resolution Centre in Bethlehem, which provides counselling and support for families under strain due to the impact of the overcrowding, unemployment and community tensions caused by the occupation.
Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. Despite shortages of medicines and supplies caused by Gaza’s border being closed for months at a time, the staff of this charity hospital work tirelessly to provide what treatment they can for local people, including maternity services, A&E and cancer care.
