The "Pathways to Palestine" team will sail to France before beginning their journey and are raising money for the Medical Aid for Palestine organisation.

Their trek is expected to last 40 days and takes them through 14 different countries.

All money raised will go towards medical equipment for Gaza and donations can be made through their website.

The group will also be "phlogging" along the way which is a type of audio blog submitted over the phone.
