Like almost everyone else, I have been feeling appalled, angry and helpless about the horrific news from Gaza. My brother Ed isn’t feeling helpless though. He is swimming in 26 ‘wild’ places this summer, one for each letter of the alphabet, to raise money for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
Supporting Ed and helping elicit donations felt like one way I could help people in truly hellish circumstances. So on Friday I joined him as he ticked off five more letters on his alphabet challenge.
