“The 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon was unlike any other—this year marking its first time as part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.
As one of only seven races in the series, Sydney now stands alongside Boston, London, Chicago, Berlin, Tokyo, and New York. Having already earned my Abbott medal in 2023, I was proud to continue the journey at this historic new Major in Sydney.
But for me, every marathon is about more than miles. In Sydney, I ran for causes close to my heart: the children and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the people of Lebanon, and the athletes of the USA Blind Soccer Team—“Championing The Unseen” through sport.
Grateful to be part of this historic race—and honored to carry these missions forward with every step. GodSpeed.”

"سيدني دخلت التاريخ كأحدث محطة في سلسلة ماراثونات Abbott العالمية الكبرى—وكان لي الفخر أن أركض فيها بعد حصولي على ميدالية Abbott في عام 2023. كل خطوة ركضتها كانت من أجل مستشفى سانت جود، ومن أجل #لبنان، ومن أجل فريق كرة القدم للمكفوفين في الولايات المتحدة— نقف إلى جانب من غابوا عن الأنظار من خلال الرياضة."—توماس أبراهام، مؤسّس مبادرة ساعدونا على النهوض. ...

On the 4th of August 2020, one of the biggest non-nuclear blasts in history hit Lebanon’s capital city Beirut, inflicting widespread devastation and causing immense suffering. Miami based philanthropist and businessman of Lebanese origins, Thomas G. Abraham, reached out to friends and alliances around the world so that they join hands in offering aid and relief to the people of Lebanon through the Help Us Rise initiative.
During its first year, the initiative was supported and managed by the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, chaired by Thomas G. Abraham. A year after the blast, he founded The Beirut Foundation to respond to the increasing crises Lebanon is facing. Today, the Help Us Rise initiative is managed by The Beirut Foundation as one of its main projects.
