On Sunday the 18th September 2022, Emma and Brendan will be running the Belfast Half Marathon in order to raise funds for the Amal association, Tulkarm Palestine.

All proceeds will go directly towards supporting patients who have renal failure and who are currently receiving dialysis. The patients are predominantly aged between 18 - 25 and the money raised will go directly towards providing medication not available in Palestine due to the ongoing illegal Israeli occupation, in addition to providing wheelchairs for those who need.

Emma has written about her longstanding medical work in Palestine and the many challenges associated with accessing medical care under occupation. A full copy of her article can be downloaded here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4847844/

We appreciate very much that times are tough at the moment, so thanks again for any support you can provide.

Emma and Brendan.
