The Battle Cancer Challenge Dubai 2024 lit up the fitness scene on Saturday, November 26, at The Sevens Stadium with a powerful display of energy, dedication, and community spirit. Participants poured their hearts into this high-intensity fitness event to support the fight against cancer, showing an extraordinary level of commitment. Each team tackled 20,000 reps in 90 minutes, moving through 10 fitness stations that included cardio, bodyweight, and weightlifting exercises. But the Battle Cancer Challenge isn’t just about fitness endurance; it’s about raising funds for cancer charities, paving the way for better treatment and research. For every 5 AED raised through their YallaGive campaigns, each team added an extra rep towards their goal.
The impact of the Battle Cancer Challenge since its inception has been nothing short of remarkable. Over AED 16 million has been raised, supporting close to 70 cancer charities and causes worldwide. More than 60,000 people have competed globally, bringing together a diverse community of supporters who share commitment to making a difference. Additionally, Battle Cancer’s own charity initiative, the Battle Cancer Program, has helped over 1,000 individuals regain strength and wellness after cancer treatment, with a program held in Dubai at Wellfit in 2022.
For the Battle Cancer Challenge Dubai 2024, Battle Cancer partnered with the Al Jalila Foundation, the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon, and Friends of Cancer Patients. This year, participants successfully raised AED 225,500, a testament to the community's dedication and the event’s lasting impact.
