Having Successfully conquered London and New York, This year I will be embarking on my third & fourth Abbott World Marathon Majors. For the Chicago Marathon, I am excited to be joining Team Palestine for The Palestine Children's Relief Fund. The charity was established in 1992 by concerned humanitarians in the USA to bring injured and sick children for free medical care they could not get locally. Since then, The PCRF has sent over 2,000 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.

This year Team Palestine will raise funds for the Safad Hospital in Baddawi Refugee Camp in Lebanon.  Help us support the humanitarian needs of tens of thousands of Palestinian and Syrian refugees in northern Lebanon by providing much-need medical equipment to open the new facility. Located in the Baddawi refugee camp near Tripoli, funds raised will help provide equipment for:

Three operating theaters
A recovery room
An ICU
And an intensive care unit for neonates.

In light of the recent events happening in Palestine, it more important than ever before to help the Health services for refugees in Lebanon which is impacted by poverty, the continued statelessness of the Palestinian population in Lebanon, as well as the deterioration of the economy, and the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors have all continued to grave humanitarian crises in Lebanon's refugee camps. The goal of this humanitarian project is to ensure that refugees have access to health care despite these challenges.

Please find it in your hearts to donate generously to this worthy cause, no donation is too small as every penny will help provide much-needed help and equipment for the hospital.
