shoe4africa - make the difference!

false - 33453

Dear Family and Friends,

For the third year in a row, I will be running in the TCS New York City Marathon in order to raise funds for African children’s health and well-being. 

It’s disheartening to acknowledge that, currently, 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer in this vast region do not survive. The need for urgent intervention is evident, and that’s why I am running for Shoe4Africa, an organization committed to making a difference. 

Shoe4Africa has already achieved a significant milestone by building East & Central Africa’s first Public Children’s Hospital, which has provided crucial care to over 1,300,000 children. Additionally, Shoe4Africa has taken a step further by establishing six free-to-attend schools, a thriving Boys and Girls Club, generated hundreds of jobs, all while distributing over 8 million meals to those in need.  

I hope you can help me support this meaningful endeavor and reach my goal of $3,000! See how your giving can make a difference in the lives of those in need by viewing Shoe4Africa’s selfless work.

Pictured below is shortly after my second finish completing the 2024 TCS NYC Marathon. Needless to say… I was hooked!

With much appreciation, a sincere THANK YOU! Your support makes a difference.

If you find yourself in the NYC area on Sunday, November, 2nd, please, come cheer!

Sincerely,
Alix
