Claudio Camilleri and Daniel Abela, who have faced each other on the football pitch back in their childhood, will be running up to 500 laps around the Marsa track to fund psychological care for children. 

Under the care of Fondazzjoni Sebħ, an NGO that engages 80 workers to provide round-the-clock support for 41 children and mothers escaping violence with their kids, the pair will be undertaking the challenge between Sunday 30th April and Monday 1st May.

Hospitality consultant Claudio Camilleri will be attempting 200km on a 400m track in 35 hours at the age of 46.  For his part, Daniel Abela will test how far he can go to raise enough money for The Children in Need Foundation and thus fund regular therapy sessions for the kids at the foundation’s home. 

The event is called 1Run1Childhood, and also aims to urge companies and people to contribute to the cause and see the project survive for up to the next three years. 

If you wish to support their cause, you can do so by visiting the pages of 1RUN or Abela and Camilleri themselves. Way to go lads!

Among the projects are a Mobility Hub in Blata l-Bajda Interchange as well as the C-Sam ‘Eco Route’ Network Project. 

In a statement, Minister Farrugia explained how the first phase will revolve around the Grand Harbour area to create an adequate and secure infrastructure for those wishing to walk, use bikes or other means which are not private vehicles. 

‘Through this project we aim to change the mentality and promote the use of active mobility whilst educating people on how using a car is not always the best option’ said Farrugia.

Ex-White House doctor demands Biden take cognitive test or drop out of race

Ex-White House doctor demands Biden take cognitive test or drop out of race
Apr 26 2023 Share

After President Joe Biden announced that he would be running for president in 2024, ex-White House doctor Rep. Ronny Jackson demanded that Biden take a cognitive test or drop out of the race altogether. 

The Republican, who was appointed Assistant to the President and Chief Medical Advisor during Donald Trump’s administration, has requested that the president take a test to prove if he is capable to lead the country for another four years if he wins.

In a letter obtained by The New York Post, Jackson said: “We call on you to either resign immediately and renounce your bid for reelection or submit to a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make those results available to the public.”⁠

The letter points to various instances wherein Biden ‘shuffled his feet, tripped when he walked, slurred his words, forgot names, lost his train of thought and appeared momentarily confused’ during public appearances. 

Jackson has been renewing such calls all throughout Biden’s administration, saying that the president should ‘follow the example set by former President Trump’. 

Despite this, the White House gave Biden a nearly clean bill of health earlier this year after his annual physical.
