A Charity Bicycle Ride from Edinburgh to London for Palestine Ist – 9th August 2015

Dr Mona El Farra, Vice President of the Red Crescent Society for the Gaza Strip, and sister of Musheir El Farra, Chair of Sheffield PSC, has asked supporters to raise the profile of the Palestinian cause in Britain and to raise funds for children’s projects in Gaza. We’re hoping to have 1,000 cyclists join this epic ride from 1st to 9th August . As we pass through towns and cities , we want to bring attention to the plight of the Palestinians and stage events and meetings. There are a variety of ways of helping out and becoming a volunteer, as well as becoming a rider.

Please come along to the meeting on  Wednesday 11th February, 7.00pm – 8.30 at
Falafel Restaurant on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme.

Please forward.
