Hi, I will be running the Belfast Half Marathon in September in aid of Lajee Celtic, based in Aida Refugee Camp, in the occupied West Bank, Palestine.

Playing in the shadow of an illegal apartheid wall, Lajee Celtic's aims are simple and modest - to provide young Palestinian refugee footballers with a fully equipped and financed football setup, which this fundraiser aims to help with. With the correct stewardship, guidance and international support it is hoped that Lajee Celtic will flourish from humble beginnings just like the club they borrow their name from.

Football can give training, mentorship, and community, so please support where you can!
