My Story

Starting Monday 18th November I will be running 560k over 5 consecutive days. I will run 5x 112km runs over 5 days on Kite Beach. The reason for the distance is that is the same length as the E11 road (Sheikh Zayed). The E11 is the soul and heartbeat of the UAE and one of the main components to the UAE's success. Why do this? Seeing the many tragic images and videos in Palestine, I just can't not do something about it. I have a small son, what will he think when he's older and reads about this tragedy and asks me "Daddy, did you do anything to help?". I could never live with myself if my answer was no. I still have hope in humanity and that peace can be found across the whole world. I don't judge people on how they deal with these situations, their beliefs and opinions or whether they post or not. I'm setting this challenge for me and to hopefully spread some awareness and help even just 1 child of Palestine. I would love to see the community of Dubai come together to support this cause, spread the awareness and join me for any part of the run. Joining with Dubai Cares for Gaza is the best way of getting these funds to the correct places. You can see their great work. So any donation of any amount is truly appreciated and if you don't have anything to donate, just tell 1 person about this or share the story. Many thanks Stephen x
