Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the British 10k in order to raise money for Penny Appeal's Emergency Response Campaign. Growing up my mother always taught me that happiness and gratitude is in helping those that are less fortunate than us. After experiencing a difficult time in my life, I can say swear by the fact that I have felt genuine happiness and contentment after helping others. So why not be part of this joy together?!

Penny Appeal always strives to respond to global disasters and emergencies as they happen. Your donations are absolutely critical in ensuring their ability to act fast in a crisis. War, famine, disease, poverty & climate change have immobilised communities in Myanmar, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, Indonesia and East Africa. Penny Appeal needs your support to be able to deploy life-saving medical aid, food, clothing, sanitation and shelter to those who've been left incredibly vulnerable.

Their teams are currently providing support in:

- South Africa – where 750 people lost their lives after a deadly cyclone hit Mozambique, Zimbabwe and parts of Malawi.

- Indonesia - where over 2000 people have lost their lives after the coastal city of Palu was rocked by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake.

- Syria and neighbouring countries - where refugees are battling to survive.

- Yemen - where civilians are targeted amidst conflict, faced with famine and struggling to receive medical treatment for cholera.

- Myanmar - where Rohingya communities are being persecuted.

- Palestine - where people are living amid conflict.

- Bangladesh - where support is being provided to victims of the Sunamganj floods and providing essential aid to Rohingyan refugees.

- Areas affected by famine in East Africa, such as Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.

Your donations will be hugely appreciated and will help save lives.

You can also contribute your zakat towards this cause - Penny Appeal has a 100% zakat policy.
