“I did a 5k running challenge last Ramadan whilst fasting and ran for 30 days,” he said.
“I raised over £3,000 at the end of Ramadan to build water wells and hand pumps across Asia, Africa and Middle East.
“This year I will step up my running. I will run 10k (6.2 miles), everyday whilst fasting in Ramadan.”
He added, “I want to raise over £6,000 for the victims of the Turkey-Syria earthquake; I want to provide clean accessible water for the victims of the earthquake.”

The money will be donated to Benefit Mankind to provide clean accessible water to the Turkey-Syria earthquake victims.
