19 Year Old Youngest With Down's Syndrome To Finish London Marathon
Apr 22 2024 Share

Nineteen-year-old Lloyd Martin, a teenage runner with Down’s syndrome from Cardiff, has made history by becoming the youngest person in his learning disability category to finish a marathon.

Accompanied by his mother as his guide, Lloyd completed the London Marathon, a remarkable achievement recognized by Guinness World Records with a certificate at the finish line.

His mother, Ceri Hooper, expressed Lloyd’s accomplishment as “achieving his dream,” emphasizing the message that anything is achievable with determination and effort.

Lloyd’s marathon completion is particularly significant within the intellectual impairment category (II2), where he stands as the youngest record holder.

Ceri, an experienced runner herself, guided Lloyd through a rigorous training regimen over five months to prepare him for the marathon. Lloyd, previously accustomed to 5km Parkruns, steadily increased his endurance under Ceri’s coaching, culminating in a marathon debut that saw him running continuously for 14 miles before finishing with overwhelming support from the crowd.

Ceri highlighted the emotional impact of Lloyd’s achievement, underscoring its importance for individuals with Down’s syndrome. Lloyd’s participation in the marathon was facilitated by Special Olympics GB, where he also engages in gymnastics and football. Lloyd’s journey exemplifies resilience, determination, and the power of familial support in overcoming challenges and breaking barriers.

Written, originally in French, by Yasmina Reza and translated into English by Christopher Hampton, this new production of ‘God of Carnage’ which will be performed at Teatru Manoel, will be directed by Andrè Agius and performed in English by four renowned local actors: Chris Dingli, Charlotte Grech, Chiara Hyzler and Pierre Stafrace.

‘God of Carnage’ is an exceptional dark comedy and one of the most celebrated plays of the last two decades. It premiered in Zurich in 2006 before moving to Paris, where it won the Molière Award for Best Play. The play made its West End debut in 2008 starring an ensemble cast that included Ralph Fiennes, Tamsin Grieg, Ken Stott and Janet McTeer.

In its Broadway debut in 2009 the cast included Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini, and Marcia Gay Harden. Since then, the play has been performed in theatres around the world, captivating audiences with its sharp wit and exploration of human behaviour.

The play takes you into the world of high-stakes parental conflict which delves into the chaos that ensues when two sets of parents come together to discuss a playground quarrel between their 11-year-old sons. As tensions rise and civility crumbles, this Olivier and Tony award-winning play offers a hilarious and scathing commentary on modern social dynamics.

Don’t miss this gripping exploration of human nature and the thin veneer of civilization! ‘God of Carnage’ is on at Teatru Manoel from the 6th to the 9th of June at 8pm. Tickets from www.teatrumanoel.mt or from Teatru Manoel’s box office in Valletta.

Malta & Antigua & Barbuda Sign Collaboration Agreement
Apr 22 2024 Share

On April 22, 2024, Ian Borg, the Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade of Malta, warmly welcomed Everly Paul Chet Greene, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Agriculture, Trade, and Barbuda Affairs of Antigua & Barbuda, on an official visit to Malta.

Despite the geographical distance between them, Malta and Antigua & Barbuda share many commonalities as small island states and members of the Commonwealth. These shared attributes shape their values and priorities, particularly concerning climate change and other challenges they face.

During their meeting, the Ministers highlighted the growth of bilateral cooperation over the past few years, which initially began during the COVID-19 pandemic. They emphasized collaborative efforts on water management issues and celebrated positive momentum in relations. A significant achievement of the meeting was the joint signature on the founding document of the Global Maritime Sanctions Information Centre, aimed at promoting training and information sharing among ship registries worldwide to isolate problematic actors.

The discussions also covered bilateral interests, foreign and security issues on the global stage, and a shared commitment to peace, conflict resolution, and international cooperation. Both nations emphasized the importance of upholding international law and accountability. Additionally, they reaffirmed their dedication to promoting human rights, good governance, and the rule of law domestically.

The Ministers underscored the urgent environmental challenges facing their regions and stressed the need for increased international collaboration on climate issues. They expressed support for the upcoming COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in 2024.

Both countries acknowledged the necessity of advocating for small island states on the global stage. They agreed to collaborate on international advocacy efforts, particularly given Antigua’s upcoming hosting of the 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States and Malta’s roles within the European Union and the UN Security Council.

To solidify their ongoing cooperation, the Ministers signed minutes outlining shared priorities for future collaboration between Malta and Antigua & Barbuda.
