My name is Pierre, and as I turn 30 this year, I wanted to mark this milestone with something meaningful—something bigger than a celebration. I decided to take on the longest run of my life: 30 kilometers, one for every year I’ve been blessed with health, opportunity, and the ability to chase new challenges. As an amateur runner, this distance is far beyond anything I have done before, but I want to dedicate every step, every struggle, and every kilometer to the brave children fighting cancer at the Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon (CCCL).

Instead of receiving gifts for my birthday, my wish is to support a cause that matters deeply. CCCL provides life-saving treatment to children in Lebanon at no cost to their families, and their mission is more important today than ever. Through this run, I hope to raise funds that can help give these children the chance to heal, to hope, and to look forward to many birthdays of their own.

I am inviting my friends, my family, my community, and anyone who believes in this cause to join me by donating whatever they can. Every contribution—big or small—brings us one step closer to supporting a child in need. Your support will motivate me through every kilometer and will make this challenge truly meaningful.

Thank you for standing with me, and for standing with the children of CCCL.
