Involved in community volunteering previously in Toronto, and more recently as part of SJ in London. Mohamed has supported SJ in AV and Media at both Salaam Cup and the SJRS Festival of Rackets. Mohamed is currently helping SJ build our cycling brand.

Sports Interest in General:

I have always been interested in sports from a young age. I believe sports in a community bring individuals from different backgrounds together through common interests. Sports is an essential part of integrating our children, youth, adults, and seniors into our community, through building strong foundations. I have played numerous sports through my life, however, over the past few years I have developed a strong passion for cycling, and am looking forward to building a strong cycling presence within the SJ community.
