Having created a lot of awareness towards Fistula and Sickle cells over the past six years, we now want to shine more light onto HIV/AIDS. We shall be working with the Buganda Kingdom, other sponsors and the ministry of health to end AIDS in the Buganda Kingdom and the entire country. Therefore, we call upon Ugandan to come in large numbers and support this cause.

Now that the date has been set (5th April 2020), we encourage everyone to go and buy the tickets and start exercising as we prepare for the upcoming run. We are running for a cause, and we would like to encourage me to go get tested, and treated so as to protect the girl child. We would like to thank our partners and we continue to encourage them to continue supporting our communities. Airtel Uganda has been by our side in different Kingdom matters and we are grateful for this partnership.
