Dear supporters,
I will be running the Chicago Marathon for the second time on October 9th, 2016 with Team Palestine for PCRF to help raise money for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. My goal is to raise $3,000 and 100% of your donations will go towards treating children. Please help me over achieve this goal. Your contributions will help many children in need of surgeries, prosthesis, burns, medical supplies, and bringing children to the United States for surgeries. Please note that every penny is saving a child in need of medical attention.
Your support is an investment in the future leaders. It will open a window of sunlight and hope through many kids' heart, their families and community. Be part of paving the road for a peaceful tomorrow for them and everyone around.
Races of 2016: Shamrock shuffle 8K, Soldier field 10miles, Chicago half marathon and the Chicago Marathon.
In the photo is Hanan Elharoub, who lost her leg in Fall 2013 at a refugee camp in southern Syria. Hanan, was hosted by the PCRF Chicago in 2014 for medical care, and returned walking again with a prosthetic leg.
Thank you,
Iba Ello
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.
THE PALESTINE CHILDREN'S RELIEF FUND (WWW.PCRF.NET) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1991 TO HELP ADDRESS THE MEDICAL AND HUMANITARIAN CRISIS FACING PALESTINIAN YOUTH IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IT HAS BECOME THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF FREE, SPECIALIZED SURGICAL CARE TO ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION OR ETHNIC BACKGROUND. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2009, TEAM PALESTINE HAS RAISED OVER $300,000 FOR PCRF (WWW.TEAMPALESTINE.COM). IN 2016, YOUR DONATION WILL BENEFIT A CANCER CENTER TO BE BUILT IN GAZA, PALESTINE. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR RUNNERS BY MAKING A DONATION TO THIS WORTHY CAUSE. EVERY MILE SAVES A CHILD!
