A symbol of unity, the upcoming Sphinx Charity run is a collective stride towards a brighter tomorrow for children in need. Set for January 13th, the Sphinx Charity Run is more than a race; it’s a communal journey. Establishing a community committed to making a positive impact, Youssef Mekawi, the man behind it all, looked to give everyone a taste of his favourite activity and use his gift to spark change. Featuring sponsors including Orascom, Orange, Banque Al Ahly, and many more, and all race proceeds will go to Al Nas Hospital for children.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mekawi started his journey with running. From seeking peace amidst the lockdown, Mekawi has turned his attention towards massive societal impact. The Sphinx Charity Run elevates running beyond a physical pursuit by giving it a profound purpose.

Discovering life’s challenges and the necessity of perseverance, Mekawi’s journey in organising the run was full of setbacks. Leveraging his passion for running to make a meaningful impact, Mekawi envisioned organising a charity event. Collaborating with Stamina, after selecting the perfect location for the long-awaited run, Mekawi promptly began the groundwork, securing a hospital partnership and tackling the venue challenge, and slowly, it all came together.

Beyond the charity run, Mekawi is working towards elevating himself in academic, physical, and mental realms. With the ultimate goal of taking his talents to the NCAA division, Mekawi looks out to make his loved ones proud.
