Running for Gaza Emergency Crisis Appeal

A fundraiser for Palestine Red Crescent Society in memory of Hind, Sidra and Reem and the thousands of other Palestinian children killed in Gaza.

In 2024 I have decided to run the Paris Marathon in April and several half-marathons in Ireland and France to help raise funds for the humanitarian organisation Palestine Red Crescent Society.

As many, I find the images, stories and reports coming from Gaza of the killing of Palestinian civilians harrowing and heartbreaking. As of February 17th 2024 at least 34,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed.

The plight and suffering of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and genocide is a cause close to my heart. When out running my mind has been constantly thinking of the children in Gaza who have been killed, those who have been orphaned, those dismembered and those made homeless.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society works on the ground in Gaza as first responders providing emergency medical and social assistance to Palestinians and helping those displaced.

100% of the funds raised will be donated directly to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). You can read about their essential work on palestinercs.org and watch 'Inside Gaza’s ambulances: Paramedics witness the horrors of war - BBC World Service Documentaries ' on YouTube which gives an insight into the work of the PRCS paramedics.

Thank you so much for any contribution, it will be greatly appreciated.
