Runners unite for a rosier tomorrow at Royal Academy Ajman's Breast Cancer Awareness Marathon

A sea of runners, united in their quest to make a difference, the sound of footsteps pounding the pavement, the cheers of enthusiastic onlookers, and the spirit of solidarity that bound them all together!

This was the scenario at the 8th Breast Cancer Awareness Marathon, hosted by The Royal Academy Ajman, on 25th October 2025.

On the sun-bathed morning, the Safia Park, Ajman was transformed into a pink spectacle of hope and resilience. Saif Ahmed Mohammed Alabdouli, Licensing and Permits Executive, APEA, graced the event as Chief Guest, accompanied by distinguished guests from the Ajman Traffic Department. Also present were NPE Schools Leaders along with the Senior Management Team.

As the school band serenaded the dignitaries, the venue was all set for a heartwarming memorable morning.

Sports Captain Huda Mohamed (Gr.12B) rendered inspiring introductory words, while Rosy (Gr.7B) highlighted the importance of breast cancer awareness and the impact of collective efforts.

The Principal, Dr Prema Muralidhar, released a flurry of pink balloons, symbolising the community's commitment to the cause. The runners took off, pumped up by their passion to support a noble cause, as students, parents, teachers, and staff sprinted together in a display of unity and solidarity.

The energy shot up with a flash mob performance by the boys, leaving the crowd in awe. As the morning drew to a close, warm words of gratitude were extended to all participants, dignitaries, and organisers, emphasising the academy's commitment to creating a culture of care, compassion, and support.

Through this initiative, The Royal Academy Ajman reaffirms its dedication to spreading awareness and supporting those affected by breast cancer. Join us in the fight against breast cancer, and let's make a difference together!
