Story

The Battle Cancer Challenge is a strength and fitness challenge for teams of four. The goal is to hit 20,000 reps in 90 minutes across two rounds of five fitness stations. On signing up, we have pledged to fundraise for a cancer charity. We were lucky to compete with our friends last year; proudly raising over AED 12,000 for charity and changing lives with fitness.  Despite having cancer as the “theme” to the challenge, we the athletes (Bilal, Oliver, Mustaneer and Ahmed) have collectively decided to fundraise a cause that is very much dear to our hearts. We secured permission by the event director and the fundraising platform to raise money for the Saving Lives in Crisis: Standing by MSF's Emergency Fund

Our Doctors Are Racing Against the Clock

In moments of crisis, when lives hang in the balance and hope feels scarce, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) stands as a beacon of compassion and care. Our Emergency Fund is the heartbeat of our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to the most dire situations around the world, ensuring that urgent medical aid reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.

One such crisis that has demanded our unwavering presence and dedication is the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza. Since its inception, MSF doctors have been on the ground, tirelessly providing lifesaving medical care to those affected by conflict and tragedy. Despite the immense challenges and heart-wrenching circumstances, our commitment remains steadfast.

The reality is stark: without the support of the Emergency Fund, our ability to act immediately in the face of emergencies like the one in Gaza would be severely hindered. Lives hang in the balance, and every moment counts. That's why we urgently need your help!

Your support today can make the difference between life and death for those caught in the throes of crisis. Join us in saving lives!

With Ramadan approaching (month of giving), we feel it is the perfect opportunity to generously offer aid to those less fortunate and in need.

Every Dirham counts, Thank you for your support and stay blessed.

Best Wishes,
(TEAM BOMA)
