Join Me in Changing Lives!

On March 16, 2025, I’ll be running the NYC United Half Marathon for Shoe4Africa, a truly remarkable organization making a difference in the lives of African children through sports, healthcare, and education.

What started as a mission to give shoes to young Kenyan runners has grown into so much more—building hospitals, including Africa’s first children’s teaching hospital and the first children’s cancer hospital in sub-Saharan Africa. While these milestones are extraordinary, there is still so much more work to be done.

Millions of children in Africa still lack access to basic healthcare, life-saving treatments, and quality education. That’s why I need your help. By supporting my run, you’ll be helping to provide critical care and education to children who need it most.

100% of your donation will go directly to Shoe4Africa’s incredible work. Whether big or small, every contribution makes a difference. And by sharing my link with your friends and family, you’ll help spread the impact

Together, we can secure a brighter, healthier future – one step at a time.

Thank you for joining me in creating a future filled with health, opportunity, and hope.

With heartfelt thanks,

In solidarity  ~ Jacintha
