About a year and a half ago I started running, something I never envisioned I would have an interest in or ever take up. I started running as an outlet for much of the stresses that come with life, especially in my chosen field of work. Over the course of the last 18 months, I have logged a few thousand miles, burned through a half dozen pair of shoes and transformed my life in a way I didn't think was possible. Best of all, my running journey has inspired others to take an interest in looking at ways to incorporate workouts into their daily life.
I realize how fortunate I am to be able to run and do many of the things that some may never have the opportunity to do. That inspired me to sign up to run the Chicago Marathon (26.2 Miles) this year with Team Palestine, raising funds for the Palestine Children Relief Fund. The Palestine Children's Relief Fund was established in 1992 by a group of concerned humanitarians in the United States to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally. Since 1992, they have sent thousands of sick and injured children for free medical care, as well as sponsored hundreds of volunteer medical teams from all over the world to treat tens of thousands of sick and injured youths in local hospitals. PCRF has also built two pediatric cancer departments in Palestine and has several more major programs and projects taking place to help support the development of a sustainable health-care system.
So I'm doing a different type of running, not for any public office --- but to help treat and provide much needed medical care for the children in Palestine. I'm hoping you will support my Chicago Marathon journey with a contribution of $50, $100 or $250 or more to help me reach my goal of $50,000. All contributions are tax deductible.
Training for the marathon isn't easy, it requires a great deal of discipline and time. Running long distances in the cold, heat and rain can be brutal, coupled with life's challenges --- trust me, I've wanted to give up a few times -- but my commitment to the Team and the reminder of who will benefit has inspired me to keep training to put me in the best possible position to finish this race. The Team has a saying "Every mile saves a child", and I'm hoping to cross the finishline on October 13th, and raising enough money to save the lives of a few children.
Thank you for your support,
Hanah
