Hello All!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  Starting on Monday 18th May, I plan on running a half marathon each evening, whilst fasting, for the next 5 days to raise money for the Alubadia Charity ... As some of you may know, it is currently Ramadan, which entails no eating or drinking (not even water) from the hours between sunrise and sunset (3:00am-9:00pm) making this challenge even trickier than it already is!

Fasting for 18 hours during the day has been difficult, but there are people across the world who go much longer without the basic things we take for granted on a daily basis, from 3 cooked meals a day to accessible drinking water. This issue has never been more prevalent given the uncertainty the world is facing today.

Therefore, I aim to raise as much money as possible for Alubadia Charity, which delivers food packages, builds wells, and provides education and clothing to children in its orphanage and further support to the families who are most in need. Including in the increasingly dangerous region of Kashmir. The absence of any welfare system in Pakistan means many people are going hungry more so than ever, as the majority work on a daily wage and are struggling to survive with the lack of support. This has been further compounded by the Corona Virus.

 As a family we have supported this charity for a number of years and have seen the direct impact of Alubadia's work. Any donations and support, however small, would mean so much to me and will give me the extra push to make it all worth while!

Thank you so much and much love,

Ibi xxx
