Story
On Sunday 6th April I'm running the Brighton Marathon & on Sunday 27th April I'm competing in the Valencia 1/2 Ironman for the Amos Trust's Emergency Appeal for Gaza and the West Bank.
As I complete these challenges I am joining thousands of people around the world who are "Running the Wall" as an act of solidarity with the people of Palestine.
In 2019 I was lucky enough to go out to the West Bank to run the Palestinian Marathon. This year on Friday 25th April, 10,000 Palestinian runners were due to be pounding the streets of Bethlehem for the 10th annual Palestine Marathon, sadly cancelled due to the current situation there.
I have witnessed the amazing work Amos has been doing in both Gaza & The West Bank, for over 30years. The charity partners with grassroots projects and campaigns for Palestinian rights. Since I was there the situation has reached crisis point and desperately needs our help.
