Story
Nobody should have to experience what the residents of Grenfell Tower have been through. When you hear mothers throwing their children from the 10th floor of a burning building in a last attempt at survival the least one can do is raise funds for the victims.
I am planning to do my first ever triathlon in 6 weeks time (1.5km swim + 40km cycle + 10km run; I couldn't swim 25 metres a few months ago and training in Ramadan isn't easy!) and I wish to dedicate my efforts to those impacted by the fire by raising as much money as possible in order to aid in reshaping their lives.
Please support the cause by donating however much you can afford and help raise money for the families.
The distribution of the funds will go to the affected residents of Grenfell Tower and those in most need who have lost their homes. The funds will hopefully, in the smallest way possible, help the victims get back on their feet.
Sharing this page with your contacts, friends and colleagues via social media will be most impactful and greatly appreciated.
In order to kickstart the fundraising I have donated £1,000. This takes us 20% of the way to the £5,000 target and so the rest is up to you!
Please help us help them.
God bless,
Afzal Hussein

7 years agoAs of 21st July 2017 (1 day before the London Triathlon), the total funds raised on this page have reached £3,450 + £100 cheque (see comment below). However, through the GS Match, £2,450 of the donations are eligible to be matched and so this means total funds raised are: (£2,450 x 2) + £1000 + £100 cheque = £6,000!!! £4,900 + £1000 + £100 cheque = £6,000!!! This smashes the £5,000 target! I cannot thank you all enough for donating. The world is a better place with you all. The funds raised will help so many people. Thank you!
