The rally will start from the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre to Zabeel Palace to introduce the note to Shaikh Mohammad.
The cooperation between the centre and AMG "will draw the attention towards the event indicating that it will transfer our appreciations of the humanitarian endeavour made by Shaikh Mohammad," said Ahmad Al Khoury, Founder of Rashid Pediatric Therapy Centre.
Children with special needs from across the UAE are taking part in this competition and the winners of the competition will get financial rewards and the first winner will have his/her letter posted on the Love Note to Shaikh Mohammad, said Mariam Othman, Director of the Centre.
