NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon 2025

Salam friends!! 

I am so happy to be running the upcoming Brooklyn Half Marathon through the Muslim Running Club partnered with Islamic Relief USA. 
 

Last year's Brooklyn Half was the first Half I ever ran and I've become very passionate about running, as some of you might have already heard LOL. This year, Niso [my amazing wife] and I have gotten the opportunity to run the same race but partnering with a cause that would make an impact to those who need it most. Islamic Relief USA provides a wide range of humanitarian services to support vulnerable communities both in the U.S. and internationally, such as emergency disaster responses, community support and orphan sponsorship. 

I am originally from Afghanistan, and I’ve been blessed through my life to have been raised outside the country, thanks to the many sacrifices of my parents. They have instilled in me the passion to give back to communities that need it and I believe this cause is aligned with that notion. 

Ramadan is a month of spirituality and emphasis on giving back to those less fortunate,  so it is the perfect time to donate to an impactful cause. Please join me in supporting this cause that has the power to transform the lives of others! Every little kindness is a step forward for humanity. I appreciate all the support!
