ABOUT ALIVE

ALIVE Charity Foundation is the first charity foundation to raise funds for medical research in Malta.

In our first 4 years of operation we have managed to donate over €500,000 towards Cancer Research and Cancer Care.   The sponsored research has already resulted in ground-breaking discoveries which have enabled more efficient identification of cancers in order to provide targeted treatment.  ALIVE is now funding treatment research which is leading to more effective and sustainable cancer treatment.  Funds from the first 2 years were directed towards Breast Cancer Research, whilst the funds from the last 2 years have been directed towards Children’s Cancer Research. The funds raised by ALIVE mainly go towards the human element of research, such as funding PhD research scholarships, as well as funding new and ongoing research.

This year we will be attempting another magnificent 1200km ride through Europe and raise more money for our cancer charity. 

We invite you to join us on the incredible seven day cycling adventure to raise money for cancer research and have the ride of your life while making a difference to others. To join us, click the link below which will take you to the RE/MAX ALIVE 2018 Cycling Challenge for Cancer website.
