I recently lost my cousin, Arib Hussain, in a gas explosion. He suffered severe burn injuries, and his passing has had a profound impact on me and my family.

In his memory, I will be running my first ever marathon — the Bath Two Tunnels Marathon on 16th August — to raise awareness and support for burn survivors and their families.

Burn injuries can have devastating physical and emotional effects, and recovery often involves extensive treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

My goal is to raise £1,000, with all donations going to the Children’s Burns Trust, a charity that supports children and families affected by burn injuries across the UK.

Training for a marathon is something completely new to me, but if this fundraiser can help even one person receive the care and support they need, then every mile will be worth it.

Thank you very much for your support.
