He took part in the cycling marathon to raise money for the Chief Justice of Pakistan Dam Fund and upon arrival met with a horrible road accident. In that adverse mishap, his logs were broken. Not only the accidents cost him his legs, also his expensive cycle he had bought over the installments was also damaged.
The poor cyclist even has sold out his households but could not make enough money for the hefty amount required for the medical treatment. Relatives, friends and acquaintances - to their strength - tried to facilitate Kashif but still is running short of money.
Kashif while speaking to Dunya News said, he is an asset to the nation and is in dire need of financial assistance. He further added it is government’s responsibility to share burden of his weighty medical expenses so he can walk on his legs again and can ride his bicycle.
