Organised by Rise SupportBetween July-September myself and Amer will be challenging ourselves by completing different hikes across the UK, including Snowdonia, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike. The money raised will help those in need in Palestine and other deprived countries.
My name is Fais Anwar and I am 34 years old. I live in a small town called Nelson, which is in the Borough of Pendle.
Over the last year and a few months, it has been very tough for me mentally and physically. This is all due to the Pandemic. I am sure I am not the only one whos life changed due to this. When all gyms closed and public transport came to a holt, nurseries and schools closed for large periods for children, I truly realised then that I need to start making some changes. One of the changes would be to get out and jog and walk, whilst I am on lunch break from work or in the evenings. Some weekends I would get out and hike the beautiful Pendle hill. After doing this for a year, I decided I needed bigger and better challenges, this then prompted me to see which other hills and mountains there are out there, for me to climb.
I have already Completed the highest Mountain in England named Scafell Pike. I did this on 30th May 2021.I have recently done all the 3 Yorshire Peaks in just under 10 hours and 20 minutes. This coming weekend on 17th July, I will be doing Mount Snowdon in Wales with Amer. We will be climbing Ben Nevis together on 8th of August. I will be doing Scafell Pike with Amer again soon, date to be confirmed. As I dont want to stop there, I will also be doing Ben Maqdui in Scotland on 29th August 2021. I have always wanted to climb the 3 highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland. We will be uploading pictures of our Journey on this page, so please keep an eye out.
I want people to benefit from the challenges that I have set for myself. I feel I will be needing motivation on my treks, and there is nothing that will motivate me to complete my challenges, then being able contribute to Rise Support, a charity that has been created in the memory of my beautiful Auntie. This charity has been created and organised by a very close friend of mine called Amer Ansar, who made this charity in the memory of his late mother. The purpose and aim behind this charity, is to help end some of the suffering and hunger, that we see daily nationally and internationally. This charity was created on the belief that it will make a difference to peoples lives, which it is doing to a great effect.
I want my donations to reach the people of Palestine. Any Monies over my target amount will be dispersed to Syria, Uganda, Yemen and beyond.
My Target is £5K. I believe every penny will help, so whether you contribute £1 or £10, it will help feed a poor person, put clothes on an innocent childs back, build a home for a family and the list goes on.
