As a longtime activist for the Palestinian cause, the Royal Parks half-marathon feels like a great chance to turn my words into action. That's why I'm honoured to run on behalf of the Galilee Foundation.

Over the years, I've seen Galilee do amazing work, launching educational and cultural initiatives for disadvantaged Palestinian children and making a real difference on the ground.

I hope this run helps raise awareness about the struggles that Palestinians in all parts of Israel and occupied Palestine are facing, and shows the importance of supporting them.
