From Ireland & Scotland To Palestine
Posted on 16. Jun, 2009 by Ken McGuire in Sponsorship
They’ve come from Scotland. They’ve cycled through Ireland. Now, they’re heading for Palestine and direct to Gaza.
Over the past few months we’ve been working with the Pathways To Palestine group, helping them get up and running with a blog, online donations, team email and more. The group are cycling from Ireland to Gaza and have already completed the Irish leg, with the continental leg set to start on Monday coming.
We’re sponsoring the web activities of the group and online they’ve already been able to over £1,200 with more coming through fundraisers, local donations, offline sponsorships and more. You can find out all about the project by visiting PathwaysToPalestine.com where you’ll be able to track their progress right across Europe with updates from through iPadio. If you would like to make a donation yourself, you can buy a mile (or 1.6km) for £20 or €25. When your leg of the trip has been completed, thanks to the wonders of modern GPS technology, you’ll get an email from the group letting you know your mile has been completed by their cyclists.
By cycling to Gaza they are hoping to raise significant funds for MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) and raise further awareness of the situation at present in and around Gaza.
The group are also encouraging cycle groups in France, Germany, Slovakia and beyond to get involved and join them for a leg of the trip.
We wish Eoghan, Ger and all the others involved the very best of luck on the continental leg of their journey and hope they’ll arrive safely in Gaza in a month or so.
