Philip and Jack Norton - Cycling to support Rosie, IDEALS & Gaza

Philip Norton is raising money for IDEALS

MC Events - Paris to Geneva 2025 · 30 July 2025 to 4 August 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Since the war in Gaza began we have been sending surgical teams there to support local colleagues with the emergency care of survivors of major trauma, predominantly blast and crush injuries. We urgently need funds to continue this lifesaving work.

Story

**Rosie and Gaza**

Since 2019, Rosie has passionately traveled to Gaza with IDEALS to deliver vital humanitarian aid. Many of you have supported her journey, especially as she has fearlessly spoken out against injustices.

Although Rosie’s last entry into Gaza was blocked, she and IDEALS received permission to enter this month. They are currently busy treating adults and children who have suffered horrific, life-changing injuries. However, a shortage of medical equipment makes their work even more challenging, but many Gazans are benefiting from their expertise.

Moreover, the recent denial of food has worsened malnutrition problems in the region, making crucial operations even more difficult and diminishing the chances of patient recovery.

Inspired by Rosie’s unwavering spirit, Jack and I plan to cycle from Paris to Geneva in July. Over four days, we will push through the pain and conquer 17,000 feet of climbing in summer temperatures similar to those experienced in Gaza during this time. However, we will have access to clean water, food, and a bed to aid our recovery—basic necessities that the people of Gaza are denied.

Every penny we raise will go directly to IDEALS, empowering them to provide the essential care that the Gazan people deserve. With Rosie recently appointed as a trustee of the charity, her resolve to create change continues to grow.

We are grateful for your support.
