I have been cycling since the age of 7. For the last 4 years I have enjoyed road cycling and a little bit of mountain biking too. I have toured the Cotswolds cycled in the Al- Kudra track in Dubai. My longest ride last year was the AAWA to Warwick castle and the most recent on the Isle of Wight.

This will be my longest ride and toughest challenge. However, the cause is worthwhile. Please support me in my challenge to raise money to educate an orphan child in Tanzania.

In August this year, Muhammadi Madrasah students will be spending 2 weeks at the Kibaha camp run by WIPAHS, in Tanzania. The students will be volunteering their time helping with various projects and also spending time with the orphans.

As part of this volunteering, We would like to raise funds that will help pay for the education of 4 orphans, from when they start nursery until they complete their secondary education.

The target is ambitious, but we know with the help of our community, we will raise the required funds in no time.

We therefore invite the whole community to join us in sponsoring these 4 orphans, by raising funds in whatever way you can, be it a sponsored walk, run, cycle ride or climbing a mountain or even setting up a tuck shop.

Imam Ali (as) is known as the 'Father of the Orphans" because he dedicated his life towards looking after the orphans. Let us therefore follow in the footsteps of our master and help educate these less fortunate children.
