SA everyone,
Due to the devastating consequences of terrorist attacks
within Iraq, beginning 2003, many children have been left orphaned and families have been left devastated.
This November, I will be walking from the city of Najaf to
Karbala, on foot, to raise funds for the orphans of Iraq. This will coincides with the world’s largest peaceful gathering, Arbaeen, which is the 40th day after Ashura, which marks the martyrdom of Hussain Ibn Ali, the revolutionary leader for social justice.

I have previously succeeded in climbing Ben Nevis (highest mountain in the UK), to raise funds for the AB Foundation in July this year.
Some facts about my Najaf to Karbala walk below:
Distance - 80km
Walking hours – 16-23 hours

Even a small contribution can make such a big difference to the children of war.
