shoe4africa - make the difference!

false - 28872

Oh hey!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am reaching out to share a cause that has recently become incredibly close to my heart. 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 (how incredible!!!).

The current reality is that 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer in this 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 1,000,000 children. Now, we aim to take it a step further by constructing a dedicated children’s cancer hospital.
I am here to ask for your support in this meaningful journey. 100% of your donation, regardless of the amount, will go directly to this noble cause (seriously every single dollar).

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

Thank you for considering my request, and I appreciate any support you can provide. If you are unable to give at this time I ask you to please share my page to others and spread the word about Shoe4Africa.

Thanks,
Emily
