Endurance Champion Triumphs In Grueling 7 Emirates Challenge With Support From M42's Healthpoint And Mubadala Health Dubai

(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) In an extraordinary feat of endurance, British expat and Dubai-based consultant Harry Amos has successfully completed the 7 Emirates Challenge in record-breaking time, 5 days, 21 hours, and 30 minutes. Supported by M42, a global health champion powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and technology, Healthpoint and Mubadala Health Dubai, Harry was backed by a dedicated team of expert physiotherapists who provided crucial rehabilitation and recovery support throughout his journey.

Harry embarked on the 7 Emirates Challenge on February 1, determined to complete the grueling 630 kilometers run across the UAE, from Fujairah to the UAE-Saudi Arabia border, in under six days. More than a test of endurance, the challenge aimed to raise awareness about diabetes, making his achievement even more impactful. Despite battling exhaustion, he pushed his limits with the support of the M42 group, ultimately finishing the challenge successfully. After completing the run, he visited Healthpoint for a recovery session and a celebratory ceremony.

“This journey has been one of the toughest challenges of my life but knowing that I was running for a cause bigger than myself kept me going,” said Harry,“I'm incredibly grateful to M42, Healthpoint and Mubadala Health Dubai for their unwavering support in ensuring I stayed strong and injury-free throughout this challenge. I hope that I have inspired others to be mindful of their physical health and to keep moving.”

With an estimated 1.6 million UAE residents at risk of type 2 diabetes by 2031, Harry and M42's group mission was more than endurance, it was a call for awareness and prevention.

Dr. Hasan Baydoun, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon and Head of the Orthopedic Department at Healthpoint and Mubadala Health Dubai, said,“We are thrilled to have played a role in Harry's extraordinary success. Our expert team of physiotherapists and sports medicine experts was on hand to assist him throughout every stage of his journey, ensuring he remained strong and injury-free. At M42, we are committed to spreading awareness around health and well-being, while delivering world-class care to our patients and the community.”
