It is said that we should always “go the extra mile” to support our fellow humans and, ever since the start, Beirut Marathon has done that… quite literally, too!
Every year, people from all over Lebanon, as well as athletes from all over the globe, participate in this initiative; similarly, every year, Bank Audi encourages its employees to participate by giving them the chance to vote for their preferred charity.
So, on November 13, 2016, more than 43,000 athletes from 99 countries partook in Beirut Marathon 2016, challenging themselves to run those extra miles for different causes. Bank Audi chose to run for Donner Sang Compter (DSC) – an NGO that creates a centralized database of potential blood donors for patients in need, answering the greatest possible number of demands all across Lebanon – and 488 of the Bank’s employees with their families and friends ran the 1 km, 5 km, 7 km, 21.1 km, and 42 km. The runners gathered in front of the cheering stand where Homebound, a local band of young talents supported by Bank Audi, played to motivate and inspire everyone present.
Amazingly enough, 3 stood out in their categories: Marilda Meouchy ranked 22 in her age category for the 42 K-run, Nicolas Semaan ranked 19 in his age category in the 21.1 K-run, and Mireille Semaan ranked 22 in her age category in the 21.1 K-run. Overall, Bank Audi ran 1555 km in total for DSC, which is a feat we are all proud of.
