Along with 54 cyclists from all over the world, we will be cycling over 250 kilometers from Avila to Madrid in Spain over the span of 3 days in order to raise awareness and funds for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund’s Pediatric Mental Health Project in Gaza.
Cycling4Gaza is an independent initiative founded in the wake of the 2009 war on Gaza, with a mission of raising funds for non-profit organizations that provide critical educational and health support to vulnerable Palestinian communities.
Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society. This is a human crisis. You can help.
Our aim is to raise funds for the children of Gaza in order to:
• Provide free medication to patients who are in need of support
• Hire 8 professional psychologists and psychiatrists to provide mental health counseling for children for the duration of one year
• Provide weekly and monthly group counseling for 200 high risk children and 80 mothers to teach them mental health coping skills
• Support 3 summer camps in Gaza where counselors run intensive counseling for 200 high risk children to teach them coping skills for dealing with PTSD
This is a lofty goal but we can achieve it with your help. Please help us help Gaza’s children by spreading the word and by donating anything you can to help us raise funds for the program, even 5 dollars helps. We appreciate your support.

The 2014 war on Gaza left thousands of children injured not only physically but also psychologically. Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society.
The objective of the Gaza Mental Health Project is to assess children’s needs, provide them the service they require and to train social workers on administering screening questionnaires. Over 1,300 children have been screened by 5 field workers to date and their subsequent programs are currently being developed.
