On behalf of Palmyra Relief, we are saddened to hear of the death today of great humanitarian and actor, Alan Rickman.  We offer our deepest sympathies to his wife Rima Horton, as well as his family, friends and legions of fans.

Among his many countless humanitarian efforts, Alan was a founding patron and generous and tireless supporter of Palmyra Relief and our effort to provide prosthetic limbs for Syrian children. We were so very honored and humbled by his support for our cause, and his friendship.

Alan was a truly gracious, generous, talented, witty, charismatic and heart-felt force in this world. Rest in peace, Alan. You will be missed.
