SUMUD 15
A 15-Day Challenge of Body, Mind & Conscience
Thank you to all participants, sponsors, and community members who joined our 15-day challenge of daily discipline, collective remembrance, and meaningful action to raise support for Palistory. Together, we are keeping Palestinian stories alive.
Event Date: June 1–15, 2026 (Completed)
Registration is now closed.
One shared standard of discipline, remembrance, and community support realized.
A historic challenge rooted in discipline, remembrance, and support.
Sumud 15 was an intensive 15-day cohort challenge where participants from all walks of life committed to daily physical, intellectual, and digital actions to build awareness and raise crucial funding for Palistory.
Like a fundraising walkathon with a deeply focused, educational heart, every daily milestone and page read pointed the narrative back to Palestinian history. The inaugural cohort is officially complete, but the movement continues.
Fifteen days of chosen discipline. For the fifteenth of May, nineteen forty-eight.
This challenge does not compare chosen difficulty to a lifetime of forced exile. It claims remembrance. Every day we walked, every page we read, and every contribution we secured pointed directly back to stories the world has tried to forget.
The 3 daily rules we kept
The rigorous framework our participants successfully upheld for fifteen consecutive days.
Walk 30 Minutes Every Day
One unbroken walk every day for 15 days. Outside is strongly preferred, but a treadmill is acceptable when needed.
