The LifeCycle (Malta) Foundation raised €154,645 through its fundraising initiatives in 2023, the foundation announced during a special evening on February 16. These funds will go towards LifeCycle’s mission to help renal patients, raise awareness on kidney health and support medical research in this field.

The event was attended by participants in the LifeCycle Challenge and LifeWalk 2023 and previous editions, supporters, sponsors, kidney patients and live organ donors.

The 2023 Challenge participants were also acknowledged and honoured during a certificates and awards presentation. A commemorative gift was presented to all cyclists and members of the back-up team who took part in the 10-day 2023 challenge from Thailand to Malaysia.

Special recognition went to Francesca Garbe, who is the recipient of this year’s Jack Bowen Award, which is given to the cyclist who best embodied the spirit of the challenge, as well as showing exceptional team spirit and performance.

“This is a moment where we pause to reflect on the remarkable achievement of our intrepid cyclists who choose to put their sporting prowess and resilience to the test in the name of philanthropy,” founder and chairperson Alan Curry said.

“It is also an opportunity to reflect on how far the LifeCycle (Malta) Foundation has come since its inception and to recognise the tangible impact we can make on the lives of kidney patients through our dedicated efforts. Meanwhile, as we take a short break between one challenge and the other, renal patients continue with their struggle on a daily basis.”

The 2023 LifeCycle Challenge was supported by the main sponsor Nescafé and others, including Smart Technologies Ltd, Technoline Ltd, Farsons Foundation, Laferla Insurance, JPA, The Web Ally, McDonald’s, Borg Cardona and Co. Ltd, and Salini Resort.
