The Lancaster MP will run a half marathon to raise funds for people affected by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Ms Smith will take part in this year’s Great Scottish Run half marathon, fundraising for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
The charity provides lifesaving emergency medical care, equipment, and medicines to those affected by conflict and displacement across Palestine.
Ms Smith, who has run the London Marathon several times, said "we need to get aid to Gaza, and fast".
“In the past, I’ve run for food banks, hospices, and NHS charities, but this time I’m running with a heavier heart," said the MP for Lancaster and Wyre.
"I think most of us feel helpless watching the atrocities unfold in Gaza. Even in my place of privilege as an MP, the words I say, interventions I make and votes in Westminster only go so far.
"As an MP I’ve stood up in Parliament calling for justice, humanitarian support, and a long-term political solution. But right now, we need to get aid into Gaza, and fast.
“Every step I run is for someone who can’t, for children in overcrowded hospitals, for families without water, and for medics working against all odds."
MAP’s work includes trauma care, maternal health, mental health support and emergency aid delivery under extreme conditions.
The MP has called on the local community and supporters across the UK to donate what they can to help provide critical support in Gaza.
Since launching the fundraiser last week, more than £3000 has been raised.
The MAP website says: "Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees.
"We provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system."
