Shahzad's 75 mile Cambridge to London bike ride via Luton (yeah Luton...)
Shahzad Younas is raising money for Muslim Charity
Story
I love cycling.
I love trying to raise money for good causes.
I'm helping a bunch of my friends raise money to build a school for needy children in Bangladesh.
I'll cycle 75 miles from Cambridge to London via Luton (yes...Luton)...
Please put your hand in your pocket and donate whatever you find there
Thank you!
THE CAUSE
Our dearest friend Anamur Choudhury blessed and left this world almost 3 years ago at just 28 years old. Fit and healthy all his life, we never expected him to leave us so soon and so suddenly. It reminds us everyday of how fragile life is and no matter how well we prepare ourselves, it is truly out of our hands.
As his friends and family, we are still fortunate to be blessed with our good health and want to put this to use by doing multiple challenges and building a school in his memory for needy children in Bangladesh. These challenges will include running or cycling.
Anamur was a lover of education. From his academic background to successful career, he lived by the proverb: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime". With this philosophy, we hope to provide the gift of education to poverty stricken children in Bangladesh.
Help us build the first homes in Bangladesh where we will have an adoptive mother to care for small groups of children to give the love and care these children need.
Muslim Charity is an international relief and development non-governmental organization that aims to alleviate the suffering of the world's poorest people.
