Story

Me and my team will be running the Manchester 10k run to raise funds for the victims of ISIS and the barbaric war crimes they have committed against the Iraqi people and nation. 

On the 11th of November 2014, the United Nations refugee agency (UNHRC) released a statement that estimated 13.6 million people have been displaced due to the invasion by ISIS. 

ISIS have target all segments of the Iraqi nation including Shia and Sunni muslims, Christians, Kurds, Assyrian and Yazidis. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said that they were preforming 'widespread ethnic and religious cleansing in areas under their control' such as mass executions and the use of chemical weapons against civilians. Amongst their most reported atrocities committed was camp Speicher where an estimated 1,700 Iraqi men were killed on a single day.

All these war crimes and others have been under the banner or Islam. Religion is innocent from these actions. The commander of the faithful Imam Ali states 'remember that people are of two kinds; they are either your brothers in religion or your brothers in mankind'.

Many Iraqis have been forced to leave their homes and are left with inadequate shelter, clothes and steady food sources. 

We would appreciate your support with what ever you can spare. All donations will go to help those victims. 

Thank you
