I'm Umar, and I'm running my first-ever half marathon to raise funds for our local mosque.

Our mosque is a vital part of the community, not just as a place of worship but as a space that brings people together and supports the next generation. It provides programs for young people, offering them a safe space to learn, grow, and build connections. With the right resources, the mosque could do even more—expanding into areas like teaching life skills and offering broader community support.

To fund its renovations and expansion, we borrowed £260,000 through an interest-free loan. Now, it’s up to us to pay that back and make sure the mosque can continue to serve the community for years to come.

This half marathon is a big challenge for me, but it’s nothing compared to the impact the mosque has on so many lives. By donating, you’ll be directly contributing to something that helps people of all ages, especially the youth.

Every donation counts, and your support means a lot.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for considering helping out

Jazakallah khair
