Architect and sports enthusiast Luca Zarb, 29, is taking on an extraordinary challenge to raise €10,000 for Hospice Malta.
Between December 21 and 27, Luca will run seven marathons in seven days—covering a total of 294 kilometres—in honour of his late uncle, who passed away from cancer in 2018. Inspired by the care and compassion shown by Hospice Malta, Luca launched the SevenxSeven campaign to raise funds and awareness for the organisation’s vital palliative care services.

Each marathon will take place on a different route, including areas such as St Paul’s Bay, Għajn Tuffieħa, Marsascala, and Valletta. The fundraising target breaks down to €10 per kilometre run, with donations already open via the Hospice Malta portal.
While Luca has been an active athlete for years, this is his most ambitious challenge yet.
Preparing for the event has required intense training, lifestyle changes, and mental focus. “The toughest part will be maintaining my body, but I’ll keep moving—even if I have to walk,” he said.
Luca hopes his effort inspires others to support Hospice Malta’s work and make a difference for families affected by cancer. “This campaign is about hope, kindness, and helping those who don’t have a choice but to fight,” he concluded.
