In 2022, I got incredibly fortunate when my employer, John Hancock, gave me the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon. It was an absolute privilege. That marked the beginning of my journey to run the 6 World Major Marathons
Rather than focusing on my past and the challenges I've faced, I want to emphasize what drives me to run, the lessons I've learned along the way, and how grateful I feel
Never before in my life I experienced power of a passionate hobby. It transformed me to find efficient ways to get my day to day responsibilities done so that I can return back to my training. Few years ago, I couldn't imagine I could aim for such a personal goal that not a lot of people in the world have achieved. Eventually I have learned that the magic I look for is in the work I avoid
If I have ever observed a miracle in my life, I'd say it's human body. It's fascinating how it can adapt both physically and mentally. However the body needs care and I find running a natural and fun way to achieve that
Part of my effort during this journey is to inspire family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and everyone around me. My motto is “Anything is possible!” I am a role model to little eyes of my offsprings and I try to show them importance of putting systems in place to help with self discipline
I believe every child has the right to dream and deserves access to a quality education. The Citizens Foundation(TCF) is a U.S tax-exempt, nonprofit organization that supports the education of underprivileged children in Pakistan. TCF is very close to my heart and over the decades I have witnessed the positive impact of their efforts on Pakistani society.
As I run the Berlin and NYC marathons this year, I invite you to join me in supporting this cause. Thank you for encouragement and your generosity
