Hey friends, I'm doing it again. This time it's closer to home in the Chicago Marathon. I will be again representing Team Palestine, a great group of people who I'm very happy to have joined. Anyone who knows me will tell you the issues of Palestine have been a passionate cause of mine and my trip to the region has only solidified it even more if that was possible. I am very grateful to those of you who donated the first time around and I'm asking again. Please help me reach my goal if you have any spare change you can throw my way. Thanks in advance, this truly mean a lot to me. Peace.
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.
