Endurance champion triumphs
in grueling 7 Emirates
Challenge with support from
M42’s Healthpoint and
Mubadala Health Dubai
(ABU DHABI)
-
In an extraordinary feat of
endurance, British expat and
Dubai-based consultant Harry
Amos has 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-kilometer 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.”
