Personal profile

Dr. Haq loves spending time with his two nephews. He is also a keen sportsman, so if not trekking up the Brecon Beacons, he’ll be on his road bike whizzing round parts of the UK raising money for children’s charities. He always enjoys a challenge and is about to embark on his first triathlon.
