Khawar Siddique is a Project Engineer from Abu Dhabi with a passion for long distance running.
After being bedridden for two months following a car accident in 2013, the 35-year-old discovered his passion for running.
Last month, Siddique took on the ‘world’s toughest foot-race’, the Marathon des Sables, a six-day, 250-kilometre race across the Sahara Desert in Morocco.
In doing so, he became the first Pakistani to attempt it.
