Half marathon for UNRWA and Medical Aid for Palestinians

My name is Nick and I'm running the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon 2025. I have never run a half marathon before and am taking on the challenge in aid of UNRWA and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), which perform vital work in support of Palestinians, including in Gaza.

UNRWA, the UN's Palestinian refugee agency, is the backbone of humanitarian efforts in Gaza, while MAP works diligently to bolster the healthcare system. The two organisations also operate outside the strip, including in the West Bank and Lebanon.

Visit https://www.unrwa.org/what-we-do and https://www.map.org.uk/what-we-do/what-we-do for more information on UNRWA and MAP's activities.
