3 down, 1 to go!! Thank you everyone for the amazing support!
I've set myself a massive challenge to run 4 World Major Marathons this year, in aid of the Humanitarian Crisis in Palestine.
I'm running in solidarity with the millions of Palestinians who've been suffering under decades of oppression. To raise awareness of their plight I have pledged to raise £50,000 to help provide emergency aid to those affected by the most recent airstrikes and violent attacks in Gaza, and also offer humanitarian assistance to the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families who are struggling with harsh economic hardship.
COVID prevented me from running these races last year, but here we are and here is my RUN pledge:
26 September - BERLIN Marathon
3 October - LONDON Marathon
10 October - CHICAGO Marathon (praying for US Travel Restrictions to be lifted, otherwise I will have to run Manchester instead)
7 November - NEW YORK Marathon
Having visited Palestine several times in the last few years visiting Penny Appeal projects, and learning more about the plight of Palestinians and witnessing their struggle first hand, this is a cause I feel very passionate about. I am now even more driven and committed to help their plight, and this is why I'm running for them.
