According to the WHO, 1 in 6 deaths were caused by cancer in 2020. A frightening statistic representing more than 10 million lives in a single year.
Cancer has affected us all in some way. That's why this year, we're partnering with Battle Cancer in Dubai. To help raise funds for those most affected, including charities and organisations on the front line.
Battle Cancer offers a unique model to raise funds for cancer. Their work focusses on 3 pillars:
- Deliver large-scale fitness events to raise awareness and funds for local cancer charities.
- Bring cancer-affected communities together, connected through shared experience
- Educate communities on how fitness and healthier lifestyles can prevent serious illness
This year's event is shaping up to be a monster. A first of its kind in Dubai. A full day competition (solo or teams) powered by XDUBAI. Hosted by the wonderful crew at NAS and kicking off at 8am, Saturday March 19th, 2022.
Here Are A Few Ways You Can Get Involved:
