Hi, I'd like to introduce you to PACES. This organisation brings Palestinian children together through the world of sport. Every year, when our local youth sports association would announce it was starting, I'd jump at the chance to sign up. The feeling of camaraderie is so strong and special when you're on a team, and it gets everyone through difficult times. I want refugee children to feel the same way. I hope they come away from their experience with PACES with a happy memory to hold of their childhood, instead of the constant trauma and fear they face on a daily basis. I want them to feel important and strong, and I believe the work PACES is doing will support that!

Last year, the hiking team raised over $350,000 in funds to support the PACES' program. I'm sure we can help them reach that goal again!
