Dear Family and Friends, 

I am excited to announce that I am Cycling 4 Gaza again this year.   After last year's C4G experience,  I felt compelled to do whatever I could to help raise awareness and much needed Funds for the ongoing care and treatment of the children in Gaza.

This year's cylce aims to raise awareness and funds for the PCRF Mental Health Initiative.   It has been a year since last summer's war in Gaza, and although a lot of the physical wounds have healed, the emotional and psychological scars remain.    

Please help me raise awareness for this casue which is close to my heart by sharing my fundraising page, and to meet my fundraising target by donating whatever you can.  Every little helps.

The PCRF is a non-profit organization that predominantly provides medical relief for children under Israeli military occupation. It is the main organization in the region that sends injured children abroad for free medical care and brings in expert volunteer surgery teams to provide medical care and training for local medical personnel.  Over 1,000 children have been sent to the US for free medical care and over 10,000 children have received local medical care from visiting surgery teams.

The 2014 war on Gaza left thousands of children injured not only physically but also psychologically. Today, approximately 373,000 children in Gaza suffer from emotional and psychological trauma and are in dire need of mental care support and reintegration into society.

The objective of the Gaza Mental Health Project is to assess children’s needs, provide them the service they require and to train social workers on administering screening questionnaires. Over 1,300 children have been screened by 5 field workers to date and their subsequent programs are currently being developed.
