I as a Palestinian would like to thank you for this beautifully written thoughts about Palestine and the Palestinians, and I'm glad you and the rest of the runners got the chance to live and experience the day-to-day life of the normal Palestinian people ... and would like to also thank you for feeling the responsibility of carrying the message and passing it to the world. It means so much to every Palestinian and every farmer you met and didn't meet in this short period of time. Know that you will always have a second home in Palestine whenever you decide to revisit! My respect to you and all the runners Manal Abdallah Meryl!
