I'm walking to raise funds for MAP: Medical Aid for Palestinians. They provide surgeons, doctors and equipment, on the ground. Whatever your politics, I hope we can all agree that civilians deserve medical care. Info and funding details, here: medicalaidforpalestinians.enthuse.com/pf/jane-samu...
Stride for Palestinians 2025
Jane, Lee and Peggy are walking for Palestinians in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). *riiiip* Jane, Lee and Peggy WERE walking for MAP! Two weeks ago, Lee broke his femur and needed surgery.
