Story

Unfortunately, most of us have been or will be affected by cancer in our lives.

It is with great sadness we share the struggle of our team member Sham dealing with her father's terminal kidney cancer. Baba is a wonderful man and also a devoted husband and grandfather. He has always championed his children and has lived his life with integrity, honesty and kindness. This is reflected in his daughter and we would like to support Sham and many others like her in this heart breaking battle.

Our team is made up of four females who met at the gym – BARE. We felt it was fitting to sign up for Battle Cancer - who have demonstrated their incredible commitment to promote cancer awareness through sport and fundraise for charities worldwide.

In honor of Sham’s father and marking the importance of our gym community coming together the team is called Baba BARE.

Please help us fight the battle against Cancer by donating as much as you can. Please dig deep. Every penny counts. 100% of the proceeds from the Battle Cancer Dubai campaign will support research and treatment to give hope to cancer patients.

With love,

Team Baba BARE (Sham, Feenie, Sheida, Johanna)
