On Sunday, 10 May 2026, I will be running the Geneva half marathon that I was meant to run with Penelope and one of my best friends, Eli.

After losing Eli in a bike accident in Geneva, this race has taken on a completely different meaning. It is no longer just a physical challenge. It is a way for me to honor her memory and carry her with me every step of the 21 kilometers.

A white memorial bike has already been installed in her honor by Pro Velo, a powerful symbol to remember her and to raise awareness about cyclist safety. Through this fundraiser, I want to support their work in making roads safer, so that fewer lives are lost.

I am also dedicating this run to Micha, another person I lost who was deeply dear to my heart. In her memory, I am supporting ALAM, a swiss-based organization supporting vulnerable communities and create meaningful impact in Lebanon.

This run is for Eli and Micha: for their lives, their energy, and the love they brought into this world.

If you would like to contribute, any donation, no matter the amount, will go toward these causes. And if you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for helping me turn this run into something meaningful.

I will be carrying them with me for all 21 kilometers.

*Donations will be divided equally beteen both organizations.
