Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Hi, my name is Riya! I am 13 years old and am a very big squash enthusiast. Due to the coronavirus impact on Dubai, almost everything is closed including my favorite place, the squash court! For about the first month of quarantine, I was just watching Netflix and occasionally practicing my squash drills at home, and not being very productive. I finally realized that I should be helping people during this difficult time and not just lazing around; so I thought of a way I could use my squash skills to raise funds and enjoy doing it at the same time.

Starting May 23rd until June 6th,  I am going to challenge myself in doing daily squash drills which will include 100 continuous volleys against the wall in my backyard; 200 forehand and backhand racquet swings, in place; 100 swings with fast side movements and 50-star drills. 

I plan to complete all these drills within an hour, daily for two weeks.

My goal is to collect 5000 dirhams and hopefully, more. All of the money will go to the Penny Appeal charity which provides mass feedings, emergency food, and medical aid globally, which are all needed at this crucial time. 

I will keep you guys updated as I progress along, while you progress with your donations :)

Thank you very much and remember, no donation is too small!
