Half marathon for children in Najaf

On 3rd September, God Willing, we will be running the London Big Half Marathon. We have taken up running together relatively recently and this is unlike anything we have attempted before. 

We would like to use this opportunity to raise money for a cause close to our hearts. As parents and grandparents we care deeply about ensuring all children have access to education. We will be raising money for Dar Al Zahra school in Najaf, which is an amazing school providing education for 1,000 vulnerable children with 85% of students being orphans.  These children have gone through a lot of trauma, and the least we can do is help them in contributing towards their education.  

Anything you can contribute will go a long way in supporting these children who need our support. 

Thank you!  May God bless you. Please remember us in your prayers.
