This is the 3rd year our family is participating in the fasting 5k, an annual event that takes place during the month of Ramadan, a month marked by a sense of community and charity giving.  We will be walking/running in support of two amazing charities supporting youth with disabilities on May 18th.

Our local charity partner is Project Venture, with in the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) where high school students with disabilities are paired with other college students in a three day mentorship program. Fasahat and I both work with children battling chronic skin diseases and mental illness as a dermatologist and psychiatrist, and being passionate about education and equal opportunties - this charity couldn't be closer to our hearts.

Our International charity partner is  IMANA: SaveSmile Surgical Mission
A small portion of all donations from each city running the Fasting 5K will go towards our international charity partner IMANA, towards their SaveSmile Surgical Mission. IMANA will perform corrective surgeries for cleft lip  and palate on small children and youth in Khartoum, Sudan.  https://youtu.be/8JSocPBJbgM

Fasahat, Saba, Ismail, Ishaaq, Safoora and Asiya
