I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to bring effective help to the children affected by the terrible situation in Gaza today.

Months of fighting and deprivation in Gaza have left thousands of children dead. Those who survive face ongoing war, hunger, disease and terrible loss.

Gaza’s children desperately need a lasting ceasefire to stop the violence. But they also need support: please donate to Save the Children's Emergency Fund to provide this.

Save the Children has already supplied essentials into Gaza, but the lack of food, water, and medicine is making survival nearly impossible: nearly all children in Gaza are at imminent risk of famine. And after over four months of siege and bombing, children's mental health in Gaza is being pushed beyond breaking point.

Let's all aim to raise £2,500 to help the children of Gaza to have help and hope in their lives for the future.

Many thanks for your support, Martin.
