Stride for Palestinians 2025

Sketch a day - Day 128/365

I decided to do the MAP (medical aid for Palistine) stride challenge. It entails walking 107KM in a month. This is the distance between occupied east Jerusalem and Gaza.

I am going to do the walk (with possible bits of running) slowly and it may take me longer than a month (if I get a fatigue flare up I will rest not walk that day). I am hoping to raise £250 for MAP. It's something I have been thinking about a lot.

I have written more about why I am doing this on my sponsor page. The link is here (in case you would like to know more about the walk or sponsor me) https://medicalaidforpalestinians.enthuse.com/pf/emma-adams

But no pressure there. Money is tight. A share of my link would be hugely appreciated if you want to support this cause but don't have spare money right now.

As I was thinking about all of this and trying to set my Strava page to link to the site (OMG simple things seem to take me forever and never seem simple) I decided to do a sketch of the screen. I managed to make myself look extremely grumpy & / or as if someone has farted near me. Oh dear. But I suppose this is fair. I have melted a lot of other people's faces of late in my drawings, so it only seems right that I should end up also melting my own.

And that's the news.
