Malta Airport – ALIVE2014 Cycling Challenge participants met the President of Malta H.E. Mrs Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca at San Anton Palace on Wednesday.

During the meeting the ALIVE Committee explained the aims of the foundation. The President augured well for all participants and encouraged the initiative for similar events.

The second edition of the Malta Airport – ALIVE2014 Cycling Challenge for cancer, will see 45 male and female cyclists cycling across five European cities: from Prague to Vienna to Bratislava to Budapest and finally to Belgrade, starting next Wednesday, the 9th of July, with the completion of more than 1000km on Friday, the 18th of July 2014.

This challenge is being held in collaboration with the Action for Breast Cancer Foundation and Europa Donna Malta.

Over € 45,000 have been raised so far, which means 70% of the projected goal of €65,000. These funds will go to the University of Malta in its important research in the field of breast cancer.
