The group on the trail to Mount Toubkal

Every Step Was a Du’a for Gaza

I climbed Mount Toubkal to raise awareness and funds for Gaza. Every step was a du’a for every life, every child, every family.

Why I Did This

This journey was for Gaza — to turn pain into purpose.

I wasn’t trained. I knew it would be hard. But compared to what Gaza endures, hardship felt necessary.

Every step became reflection, du’a, and a reminder of how fragile life is.

The Journey

The route up Mount Toubkal, 4,167 metres

From Newport to Morocco

From Newport to the foothills of Mount Toubkal, fear and faith walked side by side.

I carried Nūr with me — a symbol of light that has already raised thousands for Palestine.

Every Step Was a Reminder

Strangers from across the world asked about Nūr. About Gaza.

This was never just a hike — it was a moving conversation for Palestine.

When Strength Meets Reality

At high altitude, my body failed. Severe altitude sickness forced me to stop — just two hours from the peak. Stopping wasn’t defeat. It was faith.

This was not failure. It was a lesson.

How Nūr Helped Carry the Message

The Nūr watermelon plushie

Nūr has now helped raise over £15,000 for charity. 20% of our manufacturing costs are donated to Children Not Numbers, the same charity this climb supported — so the impact is built in before a single plush is sold.

Nūr is more than a toy. Nūr is a message.

Stories That Turn into Support

Train to Al-Aqsa and The Key & the Olive Tree

Our children’s books educate, remember, and give back.

Over £20,000 raised through book sales alone — supporting Palestine and humanitarian relief.
