Medical Aid For Palestinians - Half Marathon

My name is Ali and I will be running the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run (Half Marathon) in Glasgow in October. I want to use this run to try and raise money for Palestinian families that are suffering over the destruction of their homes and lives. Although we may feel helpless with our government not taking any action to stop the genocide, I want us to try and do everything we can to help give food and aid to the families that need it most.

It's tough to find a trustworthy charity that will deliver the majority of the donations to the people of Palestine, however, with the help from friends, I have found that MAP can use the funds raised to make the difference they deserve.

Through their West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon programmes, they work with trusted and experienced local partners to achieve this vision. Their programmes, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, they are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance.

MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices caused by occupation, displacement and conflict. They speak out in the UK and internationally, and ensure Palestinian voices are heard at the highest levels, to press for the political and social barriers to Palestinian health and dignity to be addressed.
