Rise for Palestine 2026

About the Event

This January, Rise Support invites families, young people, and elders to take part in Rise for Palestine, a peaceful, faith led community walk and challenge run raising awareness and vital funds for the people of Palestine. Rooted in compassion and unity, this event turns concern into meaningful action.

Participants will walk or run a shared route with moments of prayer, reflection, and short reminders along the way. This is not a protest, but a calm, respectful, and family friendly event bringing generations together in solidarity and purpose.
