Cyclists Bike from France to Beirut to Support Cancer Patients

A group of cyclists recently completed a 4,300-kilometer journey from France to Beirut in just 41 days to support cancer patients in Lebanon. For every kilometer they rode, they secured a box of medication for those in need, emphasizing the importance of access to treatment.

Due to the rapid increase in prices caused by the skyrocketing dollar rate, many life-saving medications and treatments, including those for cancer, have become inaccessible.

Despite the current situation in Lebanon, many initiatives have stepped in to support those in need during such challenging times. These cyclists hoped to make a positive contribution by securing life-saving treatments for cancer patients, as well as inspiring others to support healthcare initiatives.

It’s heartwarming to see the Lebanese community extend much-needed support. There are actually so many individual initiatives that have helped raise awareness and provide resources for those in need.

Who remembers the Lebanese expat who ran barefoot from Dbayeh to Batroun to support cancer patients?

Video content creator Raymi Naouss raised money to help those who are struggling to fund their treatment plans by completing the first-ever barefoot marathon. And he ran 42km from Dbayeh to Batroun!
