Beste familie & vrienden, 

On Sunday, October 19th, I will be running the Amsterdam Marathon. For me a significant challenge, considering my late start to training just five weeks ago and not being in the best physical shape. Nevertheless, my motivation is immense, as this physical endeavor is tied to a crucial humanitarian objective.

The Cause: Food Provision for Children in Gaza

I am running to make a direct contribution to the humanitarian aid efforts for children in Gaza. My fundraising is managed through the foundation 'Kinder Brauchen uns e.V.'. This organization works with a local partner that utilizes short and direct lines on the ground. This guarantees that the donations are deployed efficiently and used immediately for the provision of food to the affected children.

My Request and Personal Commitment

I will deliver the hard work on the road; I ask for your financial support. To amplify the fundraising efforts and maximize the final amount, I have initiated a personal matching challenge. I will make an additional personal contribution based on the total sum raised by Saturday, October 18th, at 6:00 PM (please see the corresponding tiered matching scheme below). This is a promise, evidence will be uploaded via my Instagram Social Media. 

0 – 20 km 100% Match: I will personally double the total amount raised with a max to 2000,- EUR. 

20 – 30 km 50% Contribution: I will contribute 50% of the total amount raised.

30 - 40 km 25% Contribution: I will contribute 25% of the total amount raised.

40 – 42.195 km 20% Contribution: I will contribute 20% of the total amount raised.

Your support makes it possible to have a bit of relief for these children. I sincerely thank you in advance for your contribution.

Our believe is our biggest capital,

Walid Ajoubi
