Three Peaks for Palestine!

2 October 2020

Supporter, Michael Battye was due to run the London Marathon in aid of MAP on 04 October 2020 before it was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

However, this has not stopped Michael from wanting to raise vital funds for our medical projects in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. Instead, Michael will be running the marathon virtually across the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Sunday 04 October!

On why he supports MAP, Michael said: 

“The Palestinian cause sits very close to my heart, not only because I have family from Palestine but because I see in every Palestinian suffering the restricted opportunities that I so freely enjoy. There is so much to enjoy about the Palestinian culture including music, food and stories but to ensure these continue to be enjoyed and expressed; dignity, health and self-advocacy must be upheld. MAP plays such an important role in the diverse needs of the Palestinian people and provides a foundation for the possibility of a normal life.”
