The Maltese are invited to attend, make their donations and have fun, in aid of id-Dar tal-Providenza.

The marathon has a number of aims. First and foremost is the important aim of collecting funds so that Dar tal-Providenza can continue to provide and improve the service it gives to its residents. Id-Dar tal-Providenza, offers a family environment to a number of people who suffer from disabilities, and who for one reason or another, can’t live with their families. It also offers a service of respite to families of people suffering from disabilities, in a way that it provides support so that people with disabilities can also live with their natural families.

The second aim is that of promoting voluntary work, while the third aim is that of encouraging sport. Last but not least, this marathon is also sending the important message to society, to respect people with disability, treat them with dignity and offer them the opportunities and choices that everyone has a right to enjoy.
