Oldham girl, 10, taking on 50km walk in memory of grandfather during Ramadan

Hannah Miah, 10, is looking to raise money as she walks from her home to her grandfather's grave during Ramadan.

She is set to complete her challenge on Saturday and has undertaken most of the walking while she has been fasting.

Hannah's grandfather passed away at the age of 85 in July 2021 and had been hoping to take part in the walk when the idea came about.

Her father Jewel said: "He was really hoping to join the walk, she is doing it in memory of him."

Hannah continues to try and help Bangladeshi children in need

The money Hannah and her family are raising is to go to a campaign from Muslim Charity to help poor and homeless children in Bangladesh.

The Miah family are British-Bangladeshi and Hannah was struck by a video showing the tough lives the street children live.

Jewel, who is a civil servant and MBE recipient, said: "We were watching this video and as I walked away, she kept watching and said 'is there anything we can do for them?'"

They have set a target to raise £5,000 and are currently on £3,800.

During a different campaign during Ramadan last year, Hannah raised over £15,000 despite setting an initial target of only £1,000.

In February, Hannah won the Young Achiever award at the British Muslim Awards for her charity work to help Bangladeshi children.

When asked why his daughter, who attends Lyndhurst Primary School in Hollins, had been so successful in her fundraising efforts, Jewel said: "People can see she's young, a genuine campaigner and is passionate."

Hannah and her family are planning to walk up Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, in mid-May as they continue to try and raise as much as they can.

Jewel said having the extended family involved has helped them achieve more.

He said: "A lot of friends and family have helped to push us, we push each other to keep going."
