Story

Thank you for reading about our campaign. We are three brothers, Talal, Fawaz and Leyth Sharaf, raising funds for Friends of Cancer Patients (FoCP), a non-profit organization that supports cancer patients and their families get through their long and arduous journey of cancer treatment.

Why FoCP? There are numerous wonderful charities and important causes to support. We chose FoCP because cancer affects all of us somehow, whether it is a family member, friend, colleague or peer. 

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer.

Around one third of deaths from cancer are due to the 5 leading behavioral and dietary risks: high body mass index, low fruit and vegetable intake, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and alcohol use.

Since November is particularly known for Men's Cancer Awareness, we have chosen to connect our November Dubai Fitness Challenge activities to support this cause.
