In just 24 hours, Shariq will cycle across the desert from Mecca to Medina — pushing his body to the limit in a test of endurance and sacrifice.
Every mile he rides is dedicated to bringing mercy through water: funding wells, pumps, and life-saving water packs for families in war-torn countries.
In one of the toughest cycling challenges imaginable, Shariq will ride 450km across the desert in just 24 hours. This journey isn’t for adventure — it’s for mercy. Every push of the pedal is dedicated to families in war-torn countries who struggle daily without clean water.
Across war-torn countries, millions wake up each day without access to safe drinking water. Children walk miles through dangerous terrain just to fetch a few litres — often contaminated and unsafe.
Through Miles of Mercy, every donation you give will help provide:
Water Packs for immediate relief
Pumps & Wells for long-term access
Clean Water Solutions that restore health and dignity
Your support means survival for families who would otherwise go without.
