MSPCA Discovers Abandoned Puppy in Dumpster Days Before the Holidays

Dec 25 2023

In a heart-wrenching story just days before Christmas, the Malta Society for the Protection and Care of Animals (MSPCA) took to social media to share a distressing discovery – a dog found abandoned in a dumpster.

The MSPCA, being the oldest animal welfare and homing centre on the island, has a primary mission focused on rehoming animals, ensuring they receive the utmost love, care, and attention. As they reach out for support, you can visit their website to make a donation, contributing to their ongoing efforts.

The MSPCA is actively seeking more information to build a case for this unfortunate puppy, now named Zara. They are urging the community to come forward with any details and contact them at [email protected].

While advocating for the adoption of animals over purchasing during the festive season, MSPCA delivers an essential reminder. Pets are not mere Christmas presents; they demand significant time and attention. The organisation encourages prospective pet owners to evaluate their capacity for commitment to ensure that the animal doesn’t end up unloved or neglected.

This Christmas you can also donate to MSPCA by visiting their website.

The Inspiring Journey of Miguel Mifsud and Jesper Mathiesen in the Mdina 2 Spinola Marathon

Dec 25 2023

In the spirit of festive celebration, the 45th edition of the Mdina 2 Spinola marathon unfolded yesterday, marking a cherished Maltese tradition that takes place annually on the last Sunday before Christmas. This year, the event added an extra layer of excitement as it coincided with the eve of Christmas, creating a festive atmosphere as participants took to the roads for this much-anticipated race.

As the second-largest road race in Malta, trailing only behind the renowned Malta Half Marathon, the Mdina 2 Spinola marathon has seen a remarkable surge in participation in recent years, with the number of enthusiasts swelling to over 1,000. The race has become a symbol of community spirit, health, and the joy of coming together to celebrate the holiday season.

Miguel and Jesper's Inspiring Mdina 2 Spinola Marathon Journey

Among the myriad of participants, two individuals stood out as true exemplars of determination and partnership – Miguel Mifsud and Jesper Mathiesen. Jesper, despite facing visual impairment, has defied odds and embraced the challenge of marathons, thanks to the unwavering support of his teammate and guide, Miguel.

The duo dedicates countless hours throughout the year to rigorous training, navigating the complexities of the marathon route and syncing their pace seamlessly. This year’s Mdina 2 Spinola marathon was not their first rodeo, and their remarkable camaraderie was on full display as they triumphantly completed the 17km route in 1:26:57.

Taking to his personal social media, an elated Miguel Mifsud celebrated yet another achievement for the dynamic pair. He expressed the profound honour he feels to train and participate in races with Jesper, acknowledging him as an inspiration not only to himself but to everyone who witnesses their extraordinary journey.

And if that isn’t inspiring enough, Miguel himself is a former drug addict who faced mental health issues that plunged him into depression. However, three years ago, he made a life-altering decision that has resulted in three years of sobriety. Miguel attributes his success to the transformative power of exercise and fitness, which have become his main driving forces. Now, he actively works to inspire others on their journey to recovery.
