Story

A 5km walk or run anywhere at any time on Saturday the 22nd March 2025.  

This is to raise funds for Al Jalila in the name of my husband, Matthew Drum who died of a brain tumour aged 42 on the 20/08/23. I have named this "In His Shoes"

This will be the second year of doing the walk. Last year we had people all over the world join in and we raised AED43,000!

Matthew did a 5km walk post diagnosis when semi wheelchair bound and raised over USD10k for the same charitable cause. I want to make this an annual event for friends and family to come together for a good cause and share memories of this amazing man who was taken too soon.  All welcome to join us!!

Al Jalila Foundation, a global healthcare philanthropic organisation dedicated to transforming lives, was founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Dubai in April 2013, to position Dubai and the UAE at the forefront of medical innovation.

Al Jalila Foundation supports medical treatment for individuals unable to afford quality healthcare; provides education and scholarship programs to nurture a home-grown generation of medical professionals and supports ground-breaking research that addresses health challenges prevalent in the region including cancer.
