Farhad Mirzaie, Afghanistan’s renowned endurance runner, is launching an extraordinary journey: running 25 marathons in 25 days across the France, from Lille to Bayonne— not for medals or records, but to raise $1 million in humanitarian aid for vulnerable Afghan children.

Starting 15 May 2026, Mirzaie will run 1,070 kilometers across Britain, carrying a message of hope and solidarity with millions of Afghan children affected by displacement, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare and education.

The Campaign Has Three

Core Objectives:

1. Raise global awareness of the urgent humanitarian crisis facing Afghan children

2. Mobilize donations to fund education, nutrition, and emergency medical aid

3. Give a voice to a generation at risk of being forgotten

A Story Beyond Endurance:

An accompanying film crew and advocacy team will document Farhad’s journey — not just the kilometers covered, but the human stories behind the cause. From coastal roads to city streets, every step represents a child’s right to grow, learn, and live in dignity.

 “I am running for those who can’t — children who have lost their homes, their futures, and often their hope,” says Mirzaie.

Why This Matters:

Afghan children today face one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world. Millions lack access to clean water, food, safety, and basic education. This campaign aims to turn compassion into action — one step, one donor, and one life at a time.
