Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a UK based physiotherapist who has been volunteering in Gaza since 2017 with Medical Aid for Palestinians. Over the years we have helped support physiotherapists with face to face training, online education, mentorship and allyship.

The physiotherapists of Gaza and across Palestine are highly skilled, dedicated professionals, providing outstanding services to their communities despite the most challenging and brutal of conditions they live and work.

Over the last 2 years 54 physiotherapists have been killed in Gaza. Some killed at work, others killed with their entire families. Every km will be in memory of a physiotherapist from the first killed, to the last (our dear friend Abed pictured with me in the cover photograph).

We are fundraising to specifically support not only Palestinian physiotherapists but all rehabilitation professionals who are working non-stop to help their communities recover and rebuild from the devastating effects of the last 16 months of war and brutality they continue to endure. This includes new-born babies, children, adults and the elderly many of whom have faced significant trauma, with multiple injuries, amputations, burns, spinal cord injuries as well as those suffering long term conditions, neurological disorders,, mental health conditions and victims of torture.

By fundraising through Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), all money goes directly to the charity with nothing deducted. As always, MAP is dedicated to providing educational and clinical support to all physiotherapists across Gaza and Palestine and your donation will go directly to projects to support these inspirational rehabilitation professionals.

Please donate anything you can, even a pound or two all adds up.
