Update #5 · Jan 23, 2012 · comment

To all of our backers -

Thank you so much for the support.  We're overjoyed to announce that we've reached our fundraising goal!  We've even gone over 100%, which is very much appreciated as that will help support the additional costs of our editing efforts when we return.

We're energetically finishing our planning, research and packing! Once the run begins, you'll be able to view our videos and follow the Run Across Palestine at the RAP page of On The Ground: http://onthegroundglobal.org/projects/run-across-palestine.

Our big push now is to get people to sign up for the Run Across Palestine newsletter.  This will be a daily digest of all of the news of the previous day, plus links to blog posts and video.  If you're a supporter this is the easiest way to stay in touch.  You can sign up at this link:  http://onthegroundglobal.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=e86f86882c25bcdcfe0bda552&id=bd9e3ff61f  And please send this on to friends as well!

And lastly, we just received exciting news today that the internationally renowned Palestinian music and dance ensemble, El Funoun, has granted us permission to use their music in our videos.  This will help us immensely in our goal to create a beautiful and moving web series that educates and inspires people across the globe.

Again we are so grateful for your help!

All the best,

Aaron and Jacob
