Story
Damaged ankles, super-stiff quads, injured glute, painfully sore calves and upset stomach.....but WE DID IT! 13.1 miles!!
Im RAN the Windsor Half Marathon. Aadil & Haaris RAN the Windsor Sprite Sprint and they even ran the last 100 yards of the half marathon!
My two boys and I are raising money for Rehmat Medical Aid (Rehmat Foundation Charity Projects. Those that know us, will know, that this 100% non-profit charity is especially dear to us all.
Aadil and Haaris Loved EVERY second of it and I hope this is the first of many charitable deeds they carry out in their lives. You can inspire them to continue.
Personally, I haven't exercised in 10 years. I was anxious about my dodgy knee, chronic weak ankles, ongoing shoulder injury and that bit a' shrapnel....(*Update September : add my gluteus into that too).Not to mention the extra effort I would have to put in to run my seasoned belly across 13.1 miles....but....you know, when it comes down to it....it's really nothing compared to the hardship that some people have to go through...particularly the people this charity helps.
If you've made it this far through my pitch, Then you must be mesmerised by my achievement and wondering how to donate now!!
Please donate generously to make it all even more worthwhile. We got the medals and you'll get an enormous sense of well being.
7 new Dialysis machines are being installed as part of a major extension to the Dialysis Hall in the Kidney Care Centre in Jhelum, Pakistan, due to extreme high demand for the service. This will allow an extra 350 Kidney dialysis sessions per month.

Our goal is to raise funding for 1 month's worth of treatments for these 7 new machines, for which there is a long waiting list.
If not for this charity, many of these patients end up selling all their possessions to pay for 2 or 3 treatments a week....and if they run out of things to sell..... :(
Please help us reach our goal by donating towards this cause and share in the reward and blessings of every person that will receive treatment as a result of your generous donation.
