Gallop for Gaza is a five-day run, consisting of over 5 marathons back-to-back across the island of Ireland, from Dublin Bay to Galway Bay. My aim is to raise urgent funds for the Palestinian Children Relief Fund and Combatants for Peace, a joint Palestinian-Israeli community made up of former Israeli and Palestinian fighters and activists committed to nonviolent resistance and co-creating a just peace, breaking the cycle of violence. You can donate to CfP here:
All money donated on this page will go to the Palestine Children Relief Fund. With over 9,000 children estimated to be killed in the seige on Gaza to date, and scores of thousands more injured, hungry and orhpaned, the children of Palestine have paid an unimaginable toll in this conflict. This bombardment represents the highest death rate of children in modern warfare by a significant margin with the median age of the 20,000+ killed in Palestine being 5 years old.

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.
The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
