shoe4africa - make the difference!

false - 24475

Hi Friends and Family,

On November 5, 2023, I will be running the 52nd TCS New York City Marathon to raise funds for East African children born into poverty and diagnosed with cancer. Shoe4Africa is committed to building the first ever Children’s Cancer Hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa (a 152-bed public facility). In this particular region of Africa, the odds are against these children. 9 out of 10 of these diagnosed children are dying because there is not a single children’s cancer hospital for the over one billion population. In the US, 1 out of 10 children die and 90% of those children are healed through cancer treatment centers just like the one Shoe4Africa will build. Please consider donating to help be an instrumental part of changing the outcome for impoverished kids suffering from cancer. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to making this hospital a reality.

Thank you in advance,

Mackenzie
