Mearns Cycling have committed to raising to £20,000 to provide much needed aid inside Gaza. We will be running several events over 2024.

We will also be collecting ZAKAT

In 2021 riders from the Mearns cycling club rode a 130 Miles from the west to east coast of the UK.

The team raised over £38,000 for the Al-rantisi children's cancer hospital in Gaza.

Devastatingly, the hospital has been bombed and severely damaged by the Israel forces.

Feeling a deep connection with the people of Gaza the club feels we have responsibility to continue to support the 1.7 million displaced men, women and children during these desperate times.

The club has committed to raise £20,000 to provide much needed aid.

The team will be cycling over 200 miles from Lossiemouth > Inverness > Fort William > Glasgow in less than 36 hours.

Please support us in achieving our goal to ease the suffering of the innocent civilians

Simmering tensions in the Middle East appear to have tipped into an unprecedented escalation, worsening the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. Struggling civilians once more face the horror of major airstrikes, with a rapidly rising death toll and hundreds of thousands of people displaced with nowhere safe to go.

In the Gaza Strip, the strikes are thought to have destroyed tens of thousands of homes, and 4 in 5 people have had to flee their homes. As many are forced to seek shelter in dozens of schools and hospitals, they urgently need food and other basic survival items.

There are also serious health concerns due to poor sanitation and overcrowding. Outbreaks of Hepatitis A have been reported, which is highly contagious and is just one of the growing risks of diseases that civilians in Gaza are exposed to.

To make matters worse, the healthcare system is on the brink of collapse, due to widespread destruction and damage of hospitals. Medical facilities which are in operation are extremely inadequate and overcrowded- with reports of centres holding three times as many patients as their capacities.
