President of Malta meets LifeCycle cyclists ahead of their Dubai trip

The President of Malta met LifeCycle cyclists at San Anton last Sunday, as they were training for a forthcoming challenge.

The President welcomed Alan Curry, Founder of LifeCycle (Malta) Foundation, all the cyclists and the support team who will be departing for Dubai on 28 September for their gruelling LifeCycle Challenge 2018.

As Alan Curry thanked the President for receiving them at the Palace and briefly commented on this year’s Foster Clark LifeCycle Challenge, the President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca praised the LifeCyclists for their work in support of persons with kidney disease and kidney failure, further praising them for embracing the value of solidarity.

John Schembri, Foster Clark’s Head of Operations was also present. The funds being raised will go towards the needs and care of kidney disease patients.

Apart from life-saving equipment and improved facilities, LifeCycle sponsors the Twilight Shift Van to transport patients to and from Mater Dei Hospital for their evening dialysis, as well as the software matching programme called “Traccia” which determines the best recipient for a kidney donation.

LifeCycle Foundation also offers a part sponsorship of the annual trip to Lourdes for patients and accompanying medical staff.

Foster Clark LifeCycle Challenge 2018 aims to raise the substantial sum of €150,000 to sustain its current and new projects for 2018-2019.
