The Team Supporting Tabarak's Run Across Pakistan

PROJECT MANAGER

Eric Temple

Hi, I am Eric. I will serve as the project manager for Tabarak’s run across Pakistan. I have followed ultra-distance runs for as long as I can imagine and will be the liaison between Tabarak’s running and fundraising. A lifelong runner, I most recently completed a Half Ironman in 2024 and won a Spartan race in 2023.

I work for The Citizens Foundation, USA where I manage grants and new initiatives. I believe that education is the greatest tool we have to equalize opportunities across cultural and socio-economic lines. TCF is, in my opinion, doing a more effective job at that than any other non-profit in the world. It is an honor to support Tabarak with his run for such an important cause.

Strategy and Fundraising Lead

Nadeem Hussain

My name is Nadeem Hussain. I am a policy researcher and strategist. I will help Tabarak with all facets of the project, primarily focusing on fundraising and media strategy. I co-founded the TCF Alumni Development Program (ADP) and served on its Governing Body for more than a decade. I was a member of the core committee that built the TCF College model and remained on its Advisory Council for about 5 years. I have worked with the central bank and state governments in Pakistan, UND, World Bank, and the IMF. I have also published two books with Oxford University Press (OUP), The Economy of Modern Sindh (OUP, 2019) and Agents of Change (OUP, 2021)

RUNNING COACH

Aaron Perez

My name is Aaron Perez and I am a physical therapist and running performance coach. I’ve been a physio for 10 years and run coach for 5 years. I’m honored to support Tabarak and offer guidance for his training as he takes on this incredible challenge to trek across Pakistan. I believe that the human body is capable of incredible feats because the human spirit is meant to endure. There’s a saying in endurance sports, “Where the mind goes, the body will follow.” In meeting with Tabarak, I’m convinced he is fully committed to his goal and has already shown incredible determination. I’m excited to see him continue training and begin his trek this Fall. LFG!! 🙂
