In one post, Baasit wrote: "It was great to have @umarksiddiqui join me & @razathejust on our 10km run today. 10k every day in August to raise money for @jwbridgethegap. Today was a wet one but having my bros with me made it A LOT easier." Sid commented on the post: "Well done 3 Siddiquos," along with a laughing crying face and a thumbs-up emoji.

Baasit later added: "Blown away by the positivity & good wishes from some amazing people today. We are so close to completing #10KaDay in August. However it is certainly a family affair. From the bottoms of mine & @razathejust hearts thank you for your support everyone."
