ANDERSON: Well, tonight's Parting Shots for you, renowned Palestinian musicians took to the stage for what was a nonstop 12-hour performance all in an effort to raise funds for breast cancer treatment in the West Bank and in Gaza.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): We know how a marathon will look at the start, but we have no idea how it will look after thirty kilometers. What street will we be on? What will it feel like? Will we be tired? How will we keep going?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): A marathon is a challenge, and there is no greater challenge than playing music. There are artists taking part that we have never met, never worked with. We won't get to practice with them before going on stage and performing.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): I have dreamed about this for many years, putting on a marathon concert and playing the Oud from start to finish. Whether we like it or not, we lose the suppleness in our fingers as we get older, so it felt like it was time to do this concert, out of respect for the Oud as well. We want to reach millions of people around the world and show them that Palestinians can achieve something great with its own people, show them that Palestine can achieve something great with its own art.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translator): I want to tell everyone suffering from cancer they are beautiful no matter how they look. This is just superficial.
