Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. On Sunday 3rd November 2024, I will be 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 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 organisation 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, they aim to take it a step further by constructing a dedicated children’s cancer hospital.

I am reaching out to ask for your support for this amazing charity. 100% of your donation will go directly to Shoe4Africa and will make a substantial impact on the lives of children facing cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for your donation. It is very much appreciated.

Lots of love,

Ruth
