Bahraini athlete Fatima Altaie is set to cycle more than 1,000km in next year’s Tour de France Femmes, with the goal of raising £10,000 (BD5,097) for the UK-based blood cancer charity Cure Leukaemia.
The 32-year-old mother-of-one, a resident of Saar, has taken on the challenge to stand in solidarity with children battling blood cancer and their families.
Her efforts also align with September’s Blood Cancer Awareness Month, a global campaign dedicated to highlighting one of the world’s most prevalent and dangerous diseases.
