I am here to ask for your support in raising money for a charity very dear to my family's heart.

Before Covid, my inspirational dad - who was a life long activist and philanthropist - had been training to fulfil his wish to run a marathon and raise money for the Kashmir Relief & Development Foundation (KRDF), a charity close to his heart. He was 63 years old and in the best health of his life.

But in June 2020, my dad suddenly departed from this world, leaving us completely heartbroken, and his dream of running the marathon incomplete.

Today, I want to follow in his footsteps by completing this part of his journey.

In the name of my late father, I will be running a half marathon and raising money for KRDF, who are working tirelessly to help the less fortunate in rural parts of Kashmir.

KRDF is a UK based registered charity. I ask for your support in raising money for this worthy cause by donating whatever you can afford to.
