Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  The humanitarian tragedy in Pakistan at the moment is huge, and sitting in warm dry houses continuing our lives as normal makes me feel that we must take some action.  

When floods strike, drowning is only one of many threats. The lack of food and shelter, combined with sewage and waterborne diseases, are a significant concern. The destruction of homes, crops, livestock, schools, hospitals and transport infrastructure is set to cause longer-term difficulty. Over 33 million people have been affected – one in eight of Pakistan’s population. 

On Sunday 11th September I will run a half marathon, 13.2 miles! I hope to raise a good amount for charity in the process, even though I am starting the collection late in the day.  Thank you for any support that you are able to offer, even if you are not able to contribute financially it would also be very generous if you were to share the link among your contacts.  

Special thanks to my wife Shahreen for helping me to get into the shape to be able to do the run, and to my cousins that are running with me / who gave me the idea!
