Story

🚴 4 Countries. 4 Days. 350 Miles. No Experience. What Could Go Wrong? 🚴

This Early May Bank Holiday weekend, I’m taking on a challenge that’s way out of my comfort zone—cycling 350 miles across 4 countries in just 4 days!

🇬🇧 England → 🇫🇷 France → 🇧🇪 Belgium → 🇳🇱 Netherlands

Here’s the catch… I’m NOT a cyclist. In fact, before signing up for this challenge, I’d barely ridden a bike for more than a few miles! This is going to be brutal—aching legs, exhaustion, and long days in the saddle. But I’m doing it for something far bigger than myself…

Why Am I Doing This?

Our community has outgrown its current space. We need a new, modern, self-sustaining Community Centre—a place that will:

✅ Give children a safe and nurturing education

✅ Provide youth with mentorship and purpose

✅ Offer elders a welcoming space to connect

✅ Support vulnerable families in their time of need

✅ Unite faith, education, and community under one roof

This isn’t just a building—it’s a future for generations to come.

How You Can Help

I’ve committed to this gruelling challenge, but I need your support to make it count. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to making this vision a reality.

Please donate today and help me turn sweat, pain, and perseverance into real change for our community!

📢 Come see us off on Friday, 2nd May at 9:30 AM meet the team, cheer them on and be part of this incredible journey from the start!

I have no idea how I’m going to survive this… but with your support, I know it’ll be worth it. Let’s do this together!.

Thank you so much in advance for your donation, love and prayers.

Maidenhead Mosque has a very rich history. The first purpose built mosque in Berkshire, it has evolved to become a focal point for the community. The Mosque has gone through a number of stages of development and progress. The building has become an attractive landmark of our Royal Borough and is well-known to all muslim and non muslim, with a very proud history. Serving the community, the mosque has developed over the years catering for all people by providing vital services and assistance. With recent developments, the services being offered have increased; a recent renovation means that the Masjid accommodates more people than ever, with a modern wudhu (ablution) facility catering for men and women and the acquirement of he old CAB building next door to use for classes, meetings, seminars and various events. We inspire to provide a range of holistic, culturally sensitive services for the community of Maidenhead, drawing on our Islamic values and heritage, with a view to improving quality of life and enhancing cohesion. Our aims are to: Focus on the needs of the diverse Muslim community whilst ensuring services are open to all. Meet the needs of the local community by promoting health, education and employment opportunities. Provide an opportunity to learn and understand Islam, through dialogue, discussion and social interaction.
