Well, back at it again and for a most noble cause.  The Palestine Children's Relief Fund, a charity which raises funds for children needing medical care in Palestine and many of the surrounding Arab states.  This year, I will be taking on the task of running two marathons.  The first will be on April 30, 2016, known as the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon in Champaign, Illinois.  The second which I hope to be completing for the third time is the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, taking place in the lovely city of Chicago on October 9, 2016.  Again, the races while taking a toll on the body bare in comparison to the dire needs children of that Middle East require.  As such, I'm hoping for your generosity once again, as many have given to this noble cause.  This, more than anything is why Team Palestine for the PCRF was created and why I take such pride on being a member.  I've witnessed personally, many of children come to the U.S and receive the medical care they need to assist them in their basic day to day functions which they were unable to complete without the required medical procedures.  These procedures could not be completed if it weren't for the generosity of people donating to the PCRF.  Thank you in advance for assisting me in this endeavor.  Just remember, every mile, every dollar, saves a child. 

For the sixth consecutive year, members of Team Palestine for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) will take the 26.2 mile journey in the 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to raise funds for PCRF. PCRF was established in 1991 to help address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youths in the Middle East, and has become the largest provider of free specialized surgical care to all Arab children regardless of race, religion or ethnic background (www.pcrf.net). Since its inception in 2009, Team Palestine has raised over $200,000 for PCRF (www.teampalestine.com). The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is one of the premiere marathons in the world and there is no better way to help thousands of children in the Middle East who are in need of desperate medical attention that is not available to them in their homeland than by running for PCRF. Please support our runners by making a donation to this worthy cause.  Every dollar and every mile saves a child.
