Plan B Group celebrates the success of the second Annual Cancer Run, raising funds and awareness for cancer causes
The Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi Cancer Run is a community-driven initiative that raises awareness about the importance of early cancer detection, research, and treatment. This year's event saw an increase in participation, with runners of all ages joining the cause across both cities. The event featured four run categories—1 km, 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km—allowing people of all fitness levels to participate and show their support.
A top official from the Dubai Sports Council was pleased with the growth of this event in such a short span of time. 'This merely means that we are doing the right things at the correct juncture while keeping the society in mind. The Cancer Run was a huge success last year, and this year we are even more committed to ensuring that the run reaches and benefits an even bigger part of the society we live in,' he noted.
'We are extremely proud of the community turnout and the impact this event has made,' said Dr. Harmeek Singh, Chairman of Plan B Group. 'The support we've seen from participants, sponsors, and partners is a testament to the collective strength of the UAE community in fighting cancer. This event is not only about raising funds but about creating a lasting impact and fostering greater awareness of the need for early detection and research.'
Proceeds from this year's Cancer Run will allocate the funds to charitable initiatives focused on supporting cancer-related causes across the UAE.
The event was supported by Abu Dhabi Sports Council (ADSC) and Dubai Sports Council (DSC), further solidifying the importance of community collaboration in promoting health and wellness in the UAE. 'It's inspiring to see how the Cancer Run has grown in such a short time, and we're thrilled to have supported an event that brings our community together for such an important cause,' said an official from the Dubai Sports Council.
In addition to the main run, the event featured a series of community activities, including entertainment, family-friendly activities, and educational booths focused on cancer prevention and support services.
The annual run reinforces the commitment to raising awareness and funding for cancer research and treatment.

Kris Aquino to undergo six-month preventive isolation in Tarlac
Kris Aquino announced she will enter preventive isolation for six months as she undergoes treatment for multiple autoimmune diseases. In an Instagram post on August 11, Aquino said she has another infusion session in six days, one of the strongest autoimmune immunosuppressants, alongside other medications that will 'totally wipe out' her immunity. She will be staying at her family's compound in Tarlac, fondly called 'Alto' by her Cojuangco relatives, after spending nearly two months at a private beach property. The TV host and actress shared that her decision to keep a low profile on social media was intentional, citing the worsening of her health condition. Aquino revealed that her autoimmune diseases have increased to 11, adding that she faces life-threatening ailments. She also gave updates on her sons. Her eldest, Josh, is temporarily living with a cousin, while her youngest, Bimby, continues to care for her. Aquino recently made headlines in July after revealing she had gained weight, reaching 112 pounds, her heaviest so far since her health struggles began.

Jessie J hospitalised weeks after breast cancer surgery
Singer-songwriter Jessie J said that six weeks after she underwent surgery to treat her "early breast cancer", she said she was back in the hospital, reported E! News. "How I spent the last 24 hours," Jessie wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo of an IV in her arm. "Six weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned." "I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung," she continued. "IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD." She said doctors have identified some infection. "They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection still trying to figure out what and a little fluid on my lungs," she said, adding, "Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night I hate being in hospital and will continue the investigation as an outpatient," reported E! News. The 37-year-old's hospitalisation came two months after she shared her initial breast cancer diagnosis on social media. And since then, she has been candid about how difficult the journey has been. "The recovery physically is far from quick or easy, and mentally it's been the most challenging time for me," she wrote in a separate post to her Instagram Stories. "Especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am." "Having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all," she continued. "But it's life, I know that. And don't get me wrong, getting the all clear is incredible. But that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically." "I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is," she added. "I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner circle."
