Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There are many reasons why I have decided to sign up for this run. First of all it is for a great cause, The Oldham Central Masjid, which is a focal point for the youth and old in our community. A place which can help Muslims religiously, educationally, personally and socially. 

Secondly, many of the most respected and active elder members of our community have sadly passed away and I think it's important that the younger generation become more involved and active in supporting our local Mosque. This is the first time I have supported the Mosque in this way, so insha'Allah I will be inspired and motivated to continue supporting the Mosque. My 12 year old nephew will also be running with me (Mash'Allah)

Finally, it is a perfect opportunity to combat the junk food belly I have accumulated over the past three years at University. Whilst the run isn't particularly long (approximately 2.5 miles) I am confident that this run will kick-start my ultimate 'GET FIT' campaign which, trust me, is needed now rather than later.

There really isn’t long left till the run (it is on Saturday 15 June 2013) so please dig deep, support this fantastic cause and insha'Allah may Allah accept all our endeavours.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Take benefit of ... your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness...”

Thanks.
