AID volunteer Nazim Ali from Manningham ran the Hull 10k while fasting on one of the hottest days of the year, raising £11,000 so far to help Syrian orphans.
The money will go to Dewsbury-based international humanitarian charity SKT Welfare’s Syrian Orphans Sponsorship Programme for their flagship Springs of Hope Orphanage and Family Centre in the Turkish/Syrian border town of Reyhanli. He has been there on five aid missions.
His time on Sunday was one hour and 17 seconds.
Mr Ali has now raised almost £120,000 for charitable causes by taking part in marathons, other runs and multiple charity mountain climbs over the last 11 years.
