Steve Sammut Nurminen to run across Sicily to raise mental health awareness

Apr 12 2022

Steve Sammut Nurminen is about to embark on his longest run to date all in the name of a charitable and noble causee this July – and he needs all the support that can be mustered!

The runner could possibly achieve the farthest ever run by a Maltese national in one single run. He will be covering a distance of 360km across the island of Sicily, starting off in Syracuse and ending in Trapani. The challenge will be time capped at 2 and a half days.

The scope of this run is to raise awareness around mental health, as Steve will be teaming up with the Richmond Foundation to encourage people to donate towards the cause.

Steve has set a target of €5,000 as he hopes to motivate and inspire as many people as possible to lead an active and healthy lifestyle, considering that this is very lacking in Malta.

He will not be alone on the journey, as a team of supporters will be ensuring that he has the right nutrition and recovery. A live tracker will be set up in case anyone will be interested in checking on his run.

In June of last year, Spears told a judge that her conservatorship prevented her from marrying or even removing her birth control. She had also said that she wanted a family with Asghari, her 28-year-old personal trainer.

The form of legal guardianship which was set up by her father in 2008 after she experienced a public mental health crisis meant that she could not make her own decisions about medical care.

Spears revealed that the legal arrangement included control over her reproductive health. Speaking after the revelation of her pregnancy, Spears said she won’t be going out much to avoid paparazzi.
