Hello,

Thank you for visiting my page!

On Nov 3rd, 2024, I am participating in the TCS New York City Marathon to raise funds for a groundbreaking initiative – the construction of sub-Saharan Africa’s first children’s cancer hospital.

It’s disheartening to acknowledge that, currently, 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer in this vast region of over 1.3 billion people do not survive. The need for urgent intervention is evident, and that’s why I am lacing up and running for Shoe4Africa, an organization based in NYC and Eldoret, Kenya, that 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 1,200,000 children since opening in 2015. Now, we aim to take it a step further by running together to construct this dedicated children’s 152-bed cancer hospital.

I am reaching out to ask for your support in this meaningful endeavor. 100% of your donation, regardless of the amount, will go directly to this noble cause. All donations are tax deductible under US law.

Together, we can make a substantial impact on the lives of children facing cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.

Thank you for considering my request, and I appreciate any support you can provide.
