Running for a Cause: Georgia & Emmanuel’s Marrakech Challenge

This Sunday, January 25, 2026, as the first light of dawn touches the ochre city walls of Marrakech, two members of the Imperial Properties family will be at the starting line of a historic journey. Georgia Edwards, whose family owns and manages Imperial Properties, and her fiancé Emmanuel Day, are set to compete in the 36th edition of the Marrakech International Half Marathon. This challenging 21.1-kilometre run through the "Red City" is far more than a personal sporting milestone; it is a dedicated philanthropic mission to raise vital funds and awareness for MumsAid, a charity that provides life-changing mental health support for pregnant women and new mothers.

The Marrakech Marathon is world-renowned for its atmospheric and evocative route, winding alongside the city’s 12th-century ramparts, past the vibrant Menara Gardens, and through boulevards lined with ancient olive and orange trees. Held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the event attracts over 18,000 runners from around the globe. For Georgia and Emmanuel, the decision to participate in this prestigious race was driven by a shared commitment to maternal wellbeing—a cause that resonates deeply with families in Mallorca and beyond. The physical demand of a half marathon is significant, but the motivation of supporting mothers in need has been their driving force throughout months of rigorous training.

MumsAid plays a critical role in addressing perinatal mental health, a field that is often overlooked yet affects 1 in 5 mothers during pregnancy or in the first year after childbirth. Perinatal mental health issues can range from post-natal depression to severe anxiety, and without specialist support, the long-term impact on both the mother and the child can be profound. MumsAid provides a lifeline, offering expert counseling and peer support groups that break the stigma of mental health struggles. The charity’s impact is statistically remarkable: 93% of mothers who complete their counseling report significant improvements in their mental wellbeing, and 87% observe a stronger, healthier bond with their children. By funding these services, Georgia and Emmanuel are helping to ensure that every mother has the support she needs to thrive.

Training for the Marrakech climate while balancing the busy operations of Mallorca's premier real estate agency has been a significant undertaking. Over the past three months, Georgia and Emmanuel have spent their mornings and weekends navigating the island’s varied terrain—from the flat coastal paths of Calvià to the demanding inclines of the Tramuntana mountains. This preparation has not only built their physical stamina but has also served as a reminder of the importance of mental resilience, a core theme of their chosen charity. At Imperial Properties, we are incredibly proud of their dedication. As an agency that views the "home" as the sanctuary and heart of family life, supporting a charity like MumsAid aligns perfectly with our core values of care, integrity, and community support.

The Marrakech International Half Marathon is celebrated for being one of the fastest courses in the world, thanks to its flat profile and the favorable January weather conditions in Morocco. However, for our duo, the real "win" is the amount raised for MumsAid. We invite our clients, colleagues, and friends across the Balearics to join us in supporting their incredible effort. Whether it is a small donation or a message of encouragement, your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of mothers and babies who depend on MumsAid’s specialist care. We look forward to sharing their results and photos from the finish line in next week’s edition.

As we navigate the beginning of 2026, stories like this remind us of the power of community and individual action. Georgia and Emmanuel’s journey from the training paths of Mallorca to the start line in Marrakech is a testament to what can be achieved when passion is directed toward a meaningful cause. We wish them the very best of luck this Sunday. Their commitment to giving back is a shining example of the spirit that defines Imperial Properties, and we are honored to stand behind them as they run for MumsAid.

Este domingo, 25 de enero de 2026, mientras la primera luz del alba toca las murallas ocre de Marrakech, dos miembros de la familia de Imperial Properties estarán en la línea de salida de un viaje histórico. Georgia Edwards, de la familia propietaria de Imperial Properties, y su prometido Emmanuel Day, competirán en la 36ª edición del Medio Maratón Internacional de Marrakech. Esta carrera de 21,1 kilómetros es mucho más que un hito deportivo; es una misión para recaudar fondos vitales para MumsAid, una organización que brinda apoyo de salud mental a mujeres embarazadas y nuevas madres.

El Maratón de Marrakech es mundialmente famoso por su ruta evocadora, que serpentea junto a las murallas del siglo XII, los jardines de la Menara y bulevares flanqueados por olivos y naranjos. Para Georgia y Emmanuel, la decisión de participar en esta prestigiosa carrera fue impulsada por un compromiso compartido con el bienestar materno, una causa que resuena profundamente en las familias de Mallorca y de todo el mundo. La demanda física de un medio maratón es significativa, pero la motivación de apoyar a las madres necesitadas ha sido su motor durante meses de entrenamiento.

MumsAid desempeña un papel fundamental al abordar la salud mental perinatal, un campo que a menudo se pasa por alto pero que afecta a 1 de cada 5 madres durante el embarazo o en el primer año después del parto. MumsAid ofrece una línea de vida, brindando asesoramiento experto y grupos de apoyo que rompen el estigma de las dificultades de salud mental. El impacto de la organización es estadísticamente notable: el 93% de las madres que completan su asesoramiento informan de mejoras significativas en su bienestar. Al financiar estos servicios, Georgia y Emmanuel ayudan a garantizar que cada madre tenga el apoyo que necesita.

Entrenar para el clima de Marrakech mientras se gestionan las operaciones de la agencia inmobiliaria líder de Mallorca ha sido un reto importante. En los últimos tres meses, Georgia y Emmanuel han recorrido los senderos de Calvià y las laderas de la Sierra de Tramuntana. En Imperial Properties estamos increíblemente orgullosos de su dedicación. Como agencia que ve el "hogar" como el santuario de la vida familiar, apoyar a MumsAid se alinea perfectamente con nuestros valores fundamentales. Invitamos a nuestros clientes y amigos a unirse a nosotros para apoyar su increíble esfuerzo este domingo.

An diesem Sonntag, dem 25. Januar 2026, werden zwei Mitglieder der Imperial Properties-Familie an der Startlinie des 36. Internationalen Halbmarathons von Marrakesch stehen. Georgia Edwards aus der Eigentümerfamilie von Imperial Properties und ihr Verlobter Emmanuel Day laufen die 21,1 Kilometer lange Strecke durch die „Rote Stadt“, um Spenden für MumsAid zu sammeln. Diese Wohltätigkeitsorganisation bietet werdenden und neuen Müttern lebenswichtige Unterstützung bei psychischen Herausforderungen.

Der Marrakesch-Marathon ist weltweit bekannt für seine stimmungsvolle Route entlang der Stadtmauern aus dem 12. Jahrhundert und durch die Menara-Gärten. Für Georgia und Emmanuel war die Entscheidung für diesen prestigeträchtigen Lauf eine Herzensangelegenheit, um das Wohlergehen von Müttern zu unterstützen – ein Thema, das Familien auf Mallorca und weltweit betrifft. Die körperliche Anstrengung eines Halbmarathons ist groß, aber die Motivation, Müttern in Not zu helfen, hat sie durch monatelanges Training getragen.

MumsAid leistet einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur psychischen Gesundheit von Müttern. Etwa jede fünfte Mutter ist während der Schwangerschaft oder im ersten Jahr nach der Geburt von psychischen Problemen betroffen. MumsAid bietet fachkundige Beratung und Selbsthilfegruppen an, die das Stigma psychischer Erkrankungen abbauen. Die Erfolge der Organisation sind beeindruckend: 93 % der Mütter berichten von einer deutlichen Verbesserung ihres Wohlbefindens. Georgia und Emmanuel tragen dazu bei, dass diese Hilfe weiterhin möglich ist.

Das Training für das Klima in Marrakesch neben der Leitung einer führenden Immobilienagentur war eine Herausforderung. In den letzten drei Monaten haben sie auf Küstenwegen in Calvià und in der Tramuntana trainiert. Bei Imperial Properties sind wir stolz auf ihr Engagement. Da wir das „Zuhause“ als das Herz des Familienlebens betrachten, passt die Unterstützung von MumsAid perfekt zu unseren Werten. Wir wünschen ihnen für diesen Sonntag viel Erfolg und freuen uns darauf, ihre Ergebnisse in der nächsten Ausgabe zu teilen.
