Hello!

I'm running the 2024 Chicago Marathon with Team Palestine in support of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. This will be my 2nd marathon with Team Palestine and 3rd ever marathon. It will be Team Palestine’s 15th straight year participating in the Chicago Marathon, raising funds and awareness to provide medical and humanitarian relief to children throughout the Levant, regardless of their nationality, politics or religion. The entire population of Gaza, which is 50% children, has been subjected to months of bombardment from land, sea, and air, resulting in tens of thousands of dead and injured civilians. In the face of the ongoing Israeli genocide, which has benefited from our government's financial and military support, it's more important than ever to support the people of Palestine in their struggle to end to the genocide and the 75+ year Israeli occupation.

All donations will go towards providing crucial humanitarian aid to the those surviving genocide Gaza. In 2022 you helped me raise nearly $2000 - I'm setting a goal of $2500 this year. Any contribution helps!

Alternatively, if you are not able to financially contribute, I'd love for you to join me at a protest this year, get involved in local advocacy efforts, and help keep Palestine in the news. I'm happy to share resources, books, and time. Thank you for your support!!

In solidarity for a #FreePalestine,
