Running to help three beautiful whaanau in Gaza, Palestine!

Kia ora, my name is Shannon, and I am currently training to be a school teacher and I am also a mother to my wee daughter. I am wanting to run a half marathon to raise funds for three families that are displaced and living in the worst possible conditions and unimaginable fear, as they shelter from the vicious attacks on their city. None of these families have their home or belongings anymore, everything has been destroyed. They need your help to be able to raise funds, approximately $5,000 USD per person, to flee the border. The border is currently closed, but it has been opening off and on, so these whaanau need your support to be ready to leave as soon as it does, there is 22 members between these three whaanau.

I will run 10km regardless of my donations, after $10,000 goal is hit, then I will run the km according to the number of thousands. My goal is $21,000 for a full half marathon and between three families it still isn't enough.. but it will help immensly and I will post their own gofundme pages so you can continue to support them get back on their feet away from the war, once this campaign ends. BUT it doesn't mean we cannot raise more! I am going to run the Waikato awa trail, from Cambridge out to Karapiro. I will complete my run (hopefully the full 21km) at the end of July, its not much time but everyday these families live in hell and terror every single day, so please help with whatever you can, by sharing and donating so we can reach our goal as soon as possible!
