Story

The people of Gaza are experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity. Israel enforced a total siege and blockade on Gaza, refusing entry of vital aid such as food and medical supplies.

My Story

I will be cycling from Mecca to Medina — a journey of faith, patience, and endurance.

This is more than a physical challenge. I chose this path because it reflects, in a small way, the struggle, resilience, and sacrifice of the Palestinian people. While my journey will last only days, theirs has lasted generations.

For me, this journey is also deeply personal. Cycling between the two holy cities is an opportunity to thank Allah for allowing me this chance to draw nearer to Him and Inshallah complete my Umrah. I see this ride as a way of combining gratitude with service — using the blessing of this journey to support those who are suffering in Gaza.

I am not doing this to stand out or to be different. I am doing this because I believe that when we step out of comfort and into hardship — even symbolically — it reminds us of our shared humanity and our duty to help those who cannot escape theirs.

Every mile I ride is dedicated to families in Gaza facing hunger, thirst, and loss. With your support, we can provide food, water, and medical aid where it is needed most.

💙 Why donate?

• £60 can provide hot meals for 12 displaced people in Gaza.

• £115 can give maternal health services to a pregnant woman in Gaza.

• £300 can deliver two trucks of water to reach 700 families.

I am not a professional athlete — just an ordinary person with a simple bike and a big intention: to make a difference. What makes this journey meaningful is not me, but you — your generosity, your prayers, and your willingness to help.

Please give whatever you can, and share this page so that together, we can be a lifeline for the people of Palestine.

✨ Every donation, no matter how big or small, is a light in the darkness for someone in Gaza.

Charity is not about the amount, but the sincerity behind it. If my journey inspires even one person to give, then every mile will have been worth it.

May Allah make my journey smooth, bless my intentions, remove any obstacles in my path and grant me success in this challenge Ameen 🤲🏾

Please keep the people of Palestine in your prayers, and if you are able, support this cause. Together, we can ease their hardship and remind them they are never forgotten.

May your generosity be returned to you in blessings, peace, and goodness. 🤲🏾

Thank you
