#RunForAfghanistan

It's simple: set yourself a challenge for people in Afghanistan! Whatever the activity or the exercise - get your grandpa, sister or dog involved. Why not put on some fancy dress?

Need some inspiration?

On Sunday 26th April (the original marathon date), our supporters helped us make the day extremely special. We joined together to do 26 minutes of exercise as part of the London Marathon's 2.6 challenge (because not all of us can do 26 miles). Check out our highlights video:

On Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August, RideLondon, a festival of cycling where over 100,000 people take place in 7 different events, was due to take place. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was cancelled, but our supporters still did a #RideForAfghanistan. Anneli and Stephan both took on the challenge, each cycling over 90km!

Exercise your creative muscles - paint, draw, write, or try something new. Our friends at ISHKAR and The Afghan Rug Shop are here to give you some inspiration.

Here’s how to make cufflinks like their amazing Afghan artisan suppliers:

Why not take inspiration from the wool dying-process as shown by Afghan rug suppliers:
