Hearing about Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza and the West Bank has filled me with rage. But most of all, sadness for the innocent lives taken away so brutally.
But I want to put the rage and strong emotions to good use through a swim challenge. I enjoy swimming and want to swim 100 miles in a year to raise money for the Palestine Emergency Appeal.
I hope that with this fundraiser, money is raised and awareness is spread to many who aren't familiar with what's going on and I hope that more open their eyes to the horrors going on in the Middle East.
Since October 2023, the Gaza Ministry of Health has recorded more than 74,230 deaths and over 175,200 injuries. The toll keeps rising even after the ceasefire, with more than 1,450 additional deaths logged since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025.
Three years on Gaza still needs food, water and medical aid and safe shelter. Thousands of families remain displaced, living gin overcrowded sites where access to sanitation, privacy and income opportunities remain severely limited.
