Hi. I am a local mom of two young boys.

This summer I am taking on a few challenges to fund raise for Save the Children.

National Three Peaks in June which I successfully completed on 28-29 June Mont Blanc in July Mt. Damavand (5671m in Iran, highest volcano in Asia) in August Run to the Beat 10k in September and finally The Royal Parks Half Marathon 2014 in October I was born in Iran just as it was attacked by Iraq. I spent the first 8 years of my life in a war-ridden and unstable country. Yet I was lucky enough to have a safe and blissful childhood. Now that I am a mom to two young boys, it hurts me even more to see and hear about children suffering. I am doing this for all the children around the world who have lost parents in natural disaster or war, who are abused and used, who do not have a chance to live a happy and peaceful life.

Having two young kids, no family to support and help, (only my husband's massive support), you can imagine training and getting organized for all these is not easy. But I am determined and will it all my best. I would appreciate your support along the way.
