Winter Walk to raise money for hospital in Gaza (Sat 28 Jan, 10am-3pm, Hyde Park London)

4th Annual Winter Walk a fundraising walk to help raise money for Al-Durrah Hospital in Gaza!!!

This year we’re raising funds to help Gaza’s only hospital for children to build three urgently needed new departments: Gastroenterology, Cardiology, and Respiratory Section. These will help provide safe conditions for even more of Gaza’s sick children insha’Allah.

Bring your friends and families and join Colin Nell, world famous freestyle footballer and other guest celebrities who will be showing their support by taking part in the 5-mile sponsored walk or run around Hyde Park in London.

Please help us by raising a minimum of £100 sponsorship. Just to provide a little more encouragement, we’ll be offering a prize to the top fundraiser!

Watch Colin demonstrate his football skills at 1.30pm. Wrap up warm, bring your friends and see you there!!!

Please print and display this poster if you can (see copy below).

Where your money went last year

In Jan 2011, over 500 people from across the country supported the Winter Walk in London and Spring Walk in Manchester, raising a staggering £60,000 which helped to build a new the Emergency Wing and Pharmacy Department for Al-Durrah Hospital.

Basic necessities such as a waiting room for patients, a separate place to store drugs with proper ventilation and room temperature; a Medical Disposables store and an external pharmacy room have allowed the hospital to improve work efficiency.

In one year alone, the hospital supported approximately 130,000 sick children. Without your support, this would not have been possible.

Check out some photos from the last Winter Walk:
