Sunday November 15th 2009 saw over 300 runners gathered at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala to take part in the Hope Ward Fun Run. Many were taking the opportunity to preview the 10km course for the following week’s MTN marathon.
The day was an enormous success with UGX 3,320,000 (GBP 1,072) raised through generous donations from individuals and corporate teams. Bead for Life, Mildmay and Voluntary Service Overseas all entered corporate teams of 10; the Paediatric Infectious Disease Clinic employees came out en-mass to support the event.
The money raised will allow Hope Ward to continue to provide medical services to those most in need.
A big thank-you to the organizers of the event: Robert, Cara, and Jemimah. Thanks also to Irene for the video clip.
