My Story

Like so many other people, I am heartbroken at the suffering of the Palestinian people, and I wanted to do something - even if very small - to help them. I love walking and I have completed sponsored walks for other charities previously, but now that I am nearly 70 and my joints are a bit stiff and sore, I wondered if I could still help. But I like a challenge, and I think that over a month even someone like me should be able to manage the 107km distance... So   I am striding for Palestinians in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). 

Starting on Nakba Day, I will be completing 107km in one month and virtually covering the distance from Occupied East Jerusalem to Gaza.

Please donate to my page and help me support MAP as they remain for the Palestinian people - no matter what.

You can track my progress via the map on my page. I will add updates as the journey progresses and keep you up to date with the distances each day. Thank you! Let's show the Palestinians that they are loved and supported by doing this together! Love from Anne x

I started walking at 8 am on 14th May, Naqba day and I managed to walk 10.4km through the day. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Stride for Palestinians so far! May we raise lots of money for our sisters and brothers in Palestine!
