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 a groundbreaking initiative – the construction of sub-Saharan Africa’s first children’s cancer hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. 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. Right now, the construction progress is at 30%!

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 1,000,000 children. Now, we aim to take it a step further by constructing a dedicated children’s cancer facility.

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 accomplishments on their website.

Pictured below is shortly after my 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
