I'm taking on this challenge to raise money for prosthetic limbs for children in Syria!
Those that know me know that this time last year I had a blue badge and physically could not walk a few steps without being in extreme pain! I was taking over 40 tablets a day and on morphine patches just to survive! I couldn't pray in the correct way and had to sit on a chair to pray even!
I have changed my life around! Alhamdulillah I've lost over 5 stone in weight and am physically so much more active! Allah has blessed me now with good health alhamdulillah and I'm now walking and hiking on a regular basis! I am so blessed to be in the situation I'm in and want to give back to those that are less fortunate!
This challenge is for myself and a group of my hiking sisters to trek up Mount Toubkal which is the highest of the Atlas mountains in Morroco at 4167 metres! This is not a small challenge but the plan is for us sisters to use our limbs to raise funds for children in Syria that have lost their limbs and need prosthetic limbs!
ACTION FOR HUMANITY'S PROSTHETIC LIMB CLINIC
As a result of the Syrian conflict, 3.7 million Syrians have a disability, tens of thousands of whom need artificial limbs, orthopaedic devices, and long-term rehabilitation care. Since 2013, we have been providing financial support to a vital cause - the preparation and fitting of prosthetic limbs to amputees in need.
In a hostile environment or warzone, these prosthetics have the potential to bring hope to vulnerable families. The fitting of a prosthetic limb not only increases a person’s mobility but may also restore their ability to find work and enable the beneficiary to support their family. The Syria Relief Prosthetic Limb Clinic provides artificial limbs free of charge to disabled people affected by the conflict.
If you want to learn more about the project here is a story and video of one of the children: https://syriarelief.org.uk/projects/health/prosthetic-limb-clinic/
The steps we take today will help fund the steps for someone else tomorrow
