Dear all,

Many thanks for visiting my page and considering to support the Deep Poverty Action Fund. As you may know, I am one of the co-founders of Turkiye Mozaik Foundation and this cause is particularly close to my heart.

I started running three years ago at a difficult year for all of us, few months after the 2023 Earthquakes in Turkiye, and in part for my mental health. I finished my first half marathon in London about a year after that and this year I am aiming to run four half marathons, in preparation for a marathon for my 50th, next year - fingers crossed..

It starts today - 29 March 2026 - with Berlin Half Marathon (my first ‘super race’), followed by Hackney (May), Copenhagen (September) and Royal Parks (October).

Further details on the Fund and Mozaik can be found on the main web page and any contributions would be much appreciated - your donations will help families meet their most urgent needs, including school nutrition for children and essential food support for families through June.

Thank you all for your support!
