Race for Relief: Bringing Hope to Gaza Through the Dubai Marathon

Join me in supporting Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and embracing the spirit of the Dubai Marathon 2025! On January 12th, I will be participating in this incredible event, running to raise awareness and vital funds for the people of Gaza. This campaign is more than just a race; it’s a statement of solidarity, resilience, and compassion for those enduring relentless challenges.

About the Campaign

Every day, countless individuals in Gaza face severe hardships, striving to survive amidst ongoing conflict. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been at the forefront, providing essential medical care, performing surgeries, treating wounds, offering postpartum care, and ensuring clean water access—supplying 700,000 liters of water daily.

With your support, we can amplify their efforts and bring relief to those who need it most.
