Marsa hosts Green Steps Race on Sunday
The article discusses the Green Steps Race that will take place on the Corniche in Mersa City on Sunday, October 18, coinciding with both the International and National Organ Donation Day. The event aims to raise public awareness about the importance of organ donation and saving patients' lives. More than 2,000 participants from various regions of Tunisia are expected to take part, including patients who have benefitted from organ donations. The race connects athletic activity with the promotion of a culture of donation, highlighting the low number of donors in Tunisia. Currently, about 17,000 people have "donor" listed on their identification cards, while hundreds of cases await organ transplants, and the waiting list continues to grow significantly. The event also involves teams from the technical and scientific police, who provide a service to add the "donor" status to national identity cards. The race features various distances, including a 1-kilometer race for children, and 5- and 10-kilometer races for professionals, with the goal of encouraging community participation in sports and raising awareness about organ donation issues.
