Help Yasmeen raise money

I will be running in honor of….

 My grandparents, Ibrahim & Latifa Said who survived the 1948 Nakba (Arabic for the first ethnic cleansing) by fleeing their village on foot; 

My father, Afif, who spent 40 years of his life living under occupation & aparatheid & left his entire family behind to immigrate to Canada to give his children a better life; 

My siblings - Ashleigh, Jule and Marianna - who understand both the joy and hardship of being Palestinian living in diaspora; 

My nephews - Davið Mani, Emil and Mimír - our next generation, who as children are so incredibly proud to be Palestinian; 

For the women and children of Palestine, especially those in Gaza & the West Bank, whom the Western world holds no empathy for because of the color of their skin; 

For the men of Palestine - our fathers, brothers, cousins, who are unjustly vilified by the Western world; 

For all those who remain steadfast in our land, including my paternal family; 

For our martyrs; glory to them.
