Hiya! This is my fundraising page for the PCRF!

As you may know, I am planning to do a HUGE charity walk through London, in order to raise money for the PCRF. But, I'm sure you may have some questions about why I'm doing this, and what the details of this charity walk are! Well, here I will explain the core details of exactly just that! So:

"Why am I doing this?"

Well, for almost 77 years, the Palestinian people have suffered undered many threats of occupation and colonisation. Many villages have been destroyed, and murder, theft, and rape have been used against the Palestinian population in attempt to diminish their strength and spirit. They have suffered under the apartheid rule of Israel's government, and have often been deprived of basic necessities and goods, such as water, electricity, food, security, entertainment, education, freedom of movement, and freedom of expression. Attempts are continually made to destroy any evidence of Palestinian history and culture. This has escalated over time, and today, we see the current Genocide of Palestinians, the worst attempt on the termination of the Palestinian people, since "The Nakba", with tens of thousands of lives ended, countless people currently starving, sick, homeless, and grieving the deaths of their families, friends, neighbours, communities, etc.. The destruction of homes, villages, cities, churches, mosques, synagogues, schools, universities and so on has continued without pause. This has constantly taken place over the past year and a half. Right now, people are suffering and need aid desperately. A new generation is being born into apocalypse. They deserve life, not a possibility of survival. It is not even the bare minimum that they deserve, but I hope to help provide aid to them, through the PCRF, and with your help.

"How long will it be, and why that long?"

I will be walking 48 miles, spread across 2 days. That's alot, and you may be wondering why that many?? Well, 48 is a significant number because 1948 was the year that Israeli settlers from throughout Europe and North America began to migrate en masse to Palestine, as part of a colonial campaign of mass displacement, destruction of land and homes, and murder of countless people, to establish a "Jewish homeland" at the cost of any and all Palestinian life, in the name of, and as the goal of the motivating ideology of Zionism. All the while, this was backed by antisemitic and racist forces and powers throughout Europe and North America, who wanted to be ridden of their Jewish populations, and lacked regard for any pre-existing Arab and/or Palestinian population living in the region. This tragedy is what we call "The Nakba".

"What will the route be?"

The core idea of this walk's route, was to travel from the most northern part of London, to the most southern part of London. WOAH. Specifically, this means I will be walking from Crews Hill Train Station, to Coulsdon South Train Station. However, this only makes up 29 miles of the walk. So, on the following day, I will be walking the remaining 19 miles, starting from Coulsdon South Train Station, and walking back North, to the borough of Camden, where I will finish at the iconic Palestinian restaurant, venue, and community hub, Palestine House! I'm hoping that many of you will join me at the end of the second day, to celebrate the end of the walk-- and most importantly, the success of the fundraiser-- and feast at Palestine House with me!

"When will you be doing the walk?"

The exact date is yet to be decided, but the current plan is to do this walk at some point around late Spring and early Summer, as May 15th is "Nakba Day", the official day of commemoration for the Palestinian people and their displacement and suffering during and as of the "The Nakba". The date will be decided closer to the time, based on how much support I feel the fundraiser could receive if given extra time to gain traction! However, any delays would not be significant, and at the absolute latest, I would be doing it around the middle of June. I don't want any delays to be significant though, because walking 48 miles will be wayyy harder if it's too hot!

I'm hoping to receive all of your support in the coming months before the walk, in the form of kind words, sharing this fundraiser far and wide, and most importantly, donations! You can follow my Training Journey on Instagram at:
