Peace
Cycle 2009 raises £5,200 for Palestine Mobile Eye
Clinic!
The
Peace Cycle is proud to announce that the 2009 ride from
Amman to
Jerusalem
raised
a total of £5,200 which has been donated to the
Oyooni Mobile Eye Clinic.
Oyooni is an initiative that aims to
deliver specialised eye care to diabetes and
glaucoma patients in
Palestine, the West Bank and Gaza. It was founded
by Dr A...li
Dabbagh, an
eye surgeon who cycled on the first ever Peace
Cycle from London to Jerusalem in 2004. During the 2009
ride, cyclists were joined by Dr
Dabbagh who showed them one of Oyooni’s projects
at the Surooq School for Blind Children in Beit Jala,
just outside Bethlehem.
Huge thanks to the amazing group of cyclists who all
worked so hard to raise
funds and complete the ride from Amman to
Jerusalem, and everyone who
helped organise, promote and support the 2009
ride especially all at the Siraj Center for Holy Land
Studies in Beit Sahour.

"Israel has deprived
millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has
perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality.
It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of
Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in
particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular
children.....Palestine is one of the great moral causes of our time.
"Nelson
Mandela, 2001
