Story

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.

More information on the link below:https://whoishussain.org/current/arbaeen-the-largest-annual-peaceful-gathering-in-the-world/

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

Time to destination – 2-3 days

Facts about Al-Ayn Charity:

Al-Ayn is an independent UK charity, collaborating with Al-Ayn (Iraq) to sponsor and care for more than 34,510 (as at June 2016) orphans all over Iraq. They provide them with financial support, medical care, psychological rehabilitation, educational support & recreational activities.

For more information, please visit www.alayn.co.uk.

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

Thanks in advance for all your support.

Together we can make a difference!
