Please would you pass on my sincere thanks to all the people who helped me to raise £1,006 on Saturday August 29, for my forthcoming cycle ride down the West Bank (September 29-October 3 2015) in aid of Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Those who helped, those who donated items and those who came, it was a splendid day with a wonderful result.

I am training hard and can sometimes be seen slowly making my way up Winsley Hill. But it’s all worth it when I think of what great work MAP does for all Palestinians, be they refugees in Syria, traumatised children in Gaza, or attending the maternal and child care clinics in the West Bank.

Thank you again.

Judith Hammond, Middle Rank, Bradford on Avon.
