During a UK tour this month, KNEECAP’s has been running 10km every day of the 12-date tour to raise money for food parcels to send to families in Palestine.

Today, the Irish-language artist announced via Instagram that he has surpassed his £30,000 goal, one day before the UK stint is set to conclude in London. To mark the moment, Móglaí Bap has invited "everyone in London" to join him on his final 10km run tomorrow, 21st November, at 3pm at Kentish Forum.

In an Instagram post on 8th November, Móglaí Bap wrote: “As we embark on tour once again with KNEECAP, it’s impossible to forget what is going on in Palestine.

“So I want to do this tour a bit differently to keep raising awareness of the genocide in Palestine. I will be running 10km every day of this tour from the 8-21st of November, to raise money for food parcels for families in Gaza”.

All donations to the fundraiser, which is still ongoing, will go towards the Beit Lahia Development Association in Gaza, who will assemble and hand-deliver food parcels to families in Gaza as part of ACLAÍ’s - a community gym in Bethlehem, West Bank Palestine - food parcel project in conjunction with Glór na Móna, that has running since June of this year on the back of a round-Ireland cycle.
