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.<\/p>

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. <\/p>

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. <\/p>

<\/p>

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.<\/p>

Who remembers the Lebanese expat who ran barefoot from Dbayeh to Batroun to support cancer patients?<\/p>
