Half-Marathon 😱


You've known me for quite some time now and running has never come up in a conversation but helping others in need is a part of my ethos.


So when my childhood friend, Kumail Merali, announced that he was taking part in the Who is Hussain 'Sprint for Sight' campaign, before my brain 🧠 could comprehend the information I volunteered to give him company. 

So now I'm running the Richmond Park Half Marathon to raise money for transformational cataract surgeries for impoverished individuals in the most remote communities of Pakistan. 

🏃‍♂️👟🏃‍♂️👟🏃‍♂️👟🏃‍♂️👟

For every £31 donation, it will allow us to complete an entire eye cataract surgery, helping to restore the sight of those most in need. Your support makes a difference and gives a future to these people and their families. Please donate today and help me reach my target.
