Once again, God willing, I will be taking part in the 80km walk across Iraq. This three day walk is in tribute to a figure that inspires me, Hussain the grandson of the Prophet.

1400 years ago Hussain gave his life to help humanity. Today, together, we too can help those in need. By sponsoring me you will be helping to rid poverty in Kenya. Help me make a difference.
