Get your running shoes ready: Our good friends at SODIC are hosting their annual Charity Run this coming Friday at 7:45 am in SODIC West. This year, SODIC is teaming up with Cairo Runners to support the Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation. It’s the third time SODIC and Cairo Runners have supported a cause together. The foundation, a registered charity NGO in Egypt, was founded in 2008 by Sir Magdi Yacoub, the late Dr. Ahmed Zewail and Ambassador Mohamed Shaker and is funded entirely through donations. Tap here for the Facebook event page if you’re interested in the 6 km run, or click the photo above. Don’t feel like driving on a Friday morning? Shuttle buses will run to SODIC West from Heliopolis, Lebanon Square and Nasr City
A proposed law that seeks to make same-gender relations punishable by up to 15 years in prison is up for discussion by the House’s Legislative Committee.
