On April 1st 2018  I'll be joining a team of 30 cycling across the West Bank of Palestine to raise vital funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

The situation is more urgent than ever - recent reports confirm that Gaza medial supplies are running out - 45% of essential medicines have less than 1 month of stock remaining. Many medical sites and services are closing due to lack of resources and fuel. 

Donations to MAP help support the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees

Working with local health providers and hospitals, MAP's projects include:-

• Essential primary care services within occupied territories
• Women and childrens' health and maternity services 
• Emergency medical response when and where its needed
• Much needed mental health and psychological support
• Campaigns in support of Palestinians' right to health and dignity

I'll be covering all travel, accommodation and associated costs of the trip myself - which means that every penny in sponsorship will go directly to help fund this incredible and much needed work. 

Find out more about the work you'll be funding at www.map.org.uk/what-we-do/what-we-do

The ride will take place over 6 days - starting in Jenin and ending in Hebron having passed through Nablus, Taybeh, Jericho, Jerusalem and Bethleham - so i'll be spending the winter getting as many cold and wet training days under my belt as possible.
