I am excited to be running the Chicago Marathon on behalf of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund ("PCRF") for the second year in a row! PCRF is very near and dear to my heart as generation upon generation of my family has lived in Palestine and will always be my forever home. This year, PCRF's fundraising initiative is supporting the development of a new Cath Lab System in the Cardiology Department of the European Gaza Hospital in South Gaza which will improve care for pediatric and adult cardiac patients.
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund 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, PCRF has 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 also has 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 there. We are a grassroots organization depending on the support of thousands of volunteers all over the world to help us achieve our humanitarian mission.
For ten straight years, PCRF has received Charity Navigators’ coveted 4-star rating, demonstrating strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. Only 3% of charities evaluated have received this rating.
