Our Stride series is BACK ! This 31 Day challenge begins on May 15th, commemorating Nakba Day, and will take you on a journey starting in the refugee camps of Lebanon and ending in Rafah, Gaza. Show your solidarity with the Palestinians by walking, running, jogging, cycling, or pushing through 150km in your local area to raise funds for lifesaving medical aid, equipment and other vital supplies. What is the Nakba? Between 1947 and 1949, at least 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from or fled their homes in historic Palestine during violent events related to the creation of the state of Israel. This upheaval, known to Palestinians as the Nakba (“Catastrophe”), heralded decades of displacement, dispossession and marginalisation. How to Take Part As this a virtual challenge, you can take part in any location you like, at any time, and at any intensity. You could jog on a treadmill, go on long hikes, cycle laps of your favourite park, or a blend of anything you like that suits your accessibility needs– it’s up to you. Log your distance on your fundraising page manually or with the Strava app, and track your progress as you move along our virtual map.
