Asad Nawaz’s Chicago Marathon 2025

Asalamualaikum everyone! I’m Asad Nawaz, and Inshallah, I’ll be running the Chicago Marathon 2025 with Muslim Runners and Charity Right UK to raise funds for school meals in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities—with a major focus on Palestine.

For over 16 months, we’ve witnessed the devastation in Palestine—tens of thousands of children martyred, and many more left without the basics of daily life. As schools slowly reopen, economic hardship remains, making a simple, nutritious meal a luxury for many families.

By providing school meals, we’re giving these children a chance to grow, learn, and hope for a better future. One meal can fuel a day of learning, improve health, and restore dignity.

But the need doesn’t stop at Palestine—children in conflict zones and disaster-stricken regions worldwide face the same struggles. Every mile we run is a step toward a future where no child goes hungry.

Your support matters. Every donation—big or small—helps nourish young minds and hearts. This project is Zakat-eligible, and may Allah accept your charity as a means of His pleasure. Ameen.

Let’s run with purpose and make every step count! Join us. Donate. Make a difference.
