Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'll be running the Paris marathon for a great charity in show of support for all those effected.</p> <p>As some of you are aware it has been a tough 12 months for those closest to me. My 2 year old niece Aliya was abducted by her mother who manipulated the UK courts and was granted permission to travel to Poland for one week, against her fathers better judgment. Both myself and my family have not seen Aliya for over a year. Her mother stands in contempt of court and refuses to return.</p> <p>The Paris marathon for me is not about large donations but more of a show of support for Aliya in allowing her the basic right to have contact with her father, and to show her that there is a place for her within our family when justice is served.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Any show of support for this charity and this situation would be gratefully received. As I said this is not about large sums of money, but if you feel that a child deserves the chance at a relationship with both parents please register even a single penny.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Ziad <span>&nbsp;</span></p>
