Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A group of us, 55 to be precise, are cycling in Norway for PACES. I will be cycling 240 km and it would be great if you would support my efforts by making a small contribution that will help put a smile on the faces of many children under occupation. Not asking for much...please donate and spread the word today. All the proceeds will go to PACES as I, like all the other cyclists, will personally pay for all the travel and hotel expenses.

Your contribution will help PACES grow its much-needed sports programs for thousands of Palestinian children: for boys who would otherwise be on the streets with nothing to do and therefore exposed to potential extremism, violence and radicalization, and for girls who would be stuck at home feeling marginalized and not empowered.

Additionally, you will contribute to creating much-needed employment opportunities to hundreds of youth living under dire economic conditions in Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon.

To learn more about PACES, please take the time to watch the video clips below: they tell the story of PACES in the words of a twelve-year old Palestinian girl.
