As many know, I was raised by a single parent from when I was 10, after my dad had a brain hemorrhage. For 10 months or 43 weeks, my mum and I went through one of the toughest experiences of our lives, until he eventually passed away on November 6th.

That's why this Ramadan I am going to run 43 miles over the entire month. This averages to about a mile and a half per day, however the likelihood is that some days will get busy, and so I will have to make up for it the next day and then have to run 3 miles in a day, but by the end of the month of Ramadan I will have run 43 miles in total. 

And I am doing this for Gingerbread, the charity for Single Parent families. From the age of 10 I was in a single parent household,  growing up, I wasn't aware of all the sacrifices my mum made for me, it was something I can never truly pay her back for, and something that I now appreciate so much.

So this ramadan, help me to reach my target of £1000 in aid of Gingerbread, so that single parent families can live secure, happy and fulfilling lives.
