London, United Kingdom (uk.gov.krd). The Kurdistan Regional Government Representation staff, Hawre Wahid and Shang Aziz, have participated in the London marathon competition alongside 47,000 others in an initiative by the representation to raise awareness and collect funds for the UK Thalassaemia Society.

This comes after a delegation from the organisation visited the KRG UK representation and met with Karwan Jamal Taher High representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government to the UK.

The marathon was 26 miles and was completed by the KRG UK staff, who successfully raised the targeted fund for the Thalassemia organisation. Karwan Jamal Tahir commended the staff and said that there is no better feeling than knowing that hard work and efforts are for good causes.

 

The UK Thalassemia Organisation has relations with the Thalassemia centres in Kurdistan Region, and recently a delegation from that organisation visited the region and provided some urgent assistance to those centres.
