Over the past few months, news of the Syrian Refugee Crisis has been filling our consciousness. 4.3 million Syrians are refugees, and 6.6 million are displaced within Syria; half are children. Syrians are fleeing their homes mainly because of violence, collapsed infrastructures and for the safety of their children.
These children are the ones who are most vulnerable and affected. They can easily fall prey to malnutrition and diseases, labor in dangerous or demeaning circumstances, sexual abuse and exploitation.
I had first hand contact with some of these unfortunate people in December at the Hamburg train station. Homeless kids playing with their toys on the floor of the train station, out in the cold - will never forget that sight. I went up to them, sat and spoke with them and sponsored three meals for about 250 refugees. It was one of the best ways to spend some money.
As a father of two lovely girls I am now raising money for the men, women and children affected by the Syrian Refugee Crisis. In this spirit I am dedicating my Tirathlon to this cause. A Triathlon is a significant test of endurance and a cause like this provides ultimate fuel for the fire.
I know a lot of you are willing to help. Be generous, this is the best way of getting rid of that cash pile :).
Donations start from $5 so please donate any amount you feel comfortable with. If there is any technical problem please email me on f.mumtaz@me.com
