Thank you for visiting my fundraising 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 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 reaching out to ask for your support in this meaningful endeavor. 100% of your donation, regardless of the amount, will go directly to this great cause. Together, we can make a substantial impact on the lives of children facing cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.

I know in the past I have ran for charities very different from this one, but I wanted to support something new this year and really believe this is a great cause to run a marathon for.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal like you have done in the past!

Thank you,
Kati
