Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

Medical Aid for Palestinians works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.

MAP’s permanent team in 🇵🇸 Gaza distributes “crucial” humanitarian supplies to hospitals and shelters. This includes medicines, disposables and lab reagents for hospitals, and mattresses, blankets and hygiene kits for thousands of people displaced from their homes.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

About me:

I am an Andalusian-born British writer/director. My 🎬 credits include projects for National Geographic, BBC, Discovery Channel, Channel Four and Animal Planet and I have visited and worked in GAZA (I’ve attached some of my photos in the photo gallery, and one photo from the present conflict taken by Palestinian colleague Mustafa Musallam).

I learned to 🏊🏻‍♂️ swim when I was four years old and I have been an avid long-distance swimmer ever since. I set myself 'virtual' long-distance swimming challenges which I complete at a variety of swimming pools. My completed challenges include:

1) The English Channel (35km)

2) Florida to Cuba (174km)

3) Sea of Cortes (257.5km)

4) the distance around the island of Ibiza (210km)

5) the length of Lake Victoria, a whopping 404km,

6) the length of the Suez Canal (162km),

7) the length of the Mediterranean coastline of Gaza (41km).

8) the length of the Dardanelles Strait (61km) and continue to raise funds for MAP.

Thanks so much for all your donations, and special thanks to my dear friend Afif Safieh for putting me in contact with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). 🙏🏻
