Ugandans braced for inaugural Rotary Cancer virtual run
2020 Rotary Cancer Run: 30th August
From the confines of their respective homesteads, thousands of Ugandans will for the first time engage in an exciting virtual race on 30th August 2020.
This will be during the 9th edition of the annual Rotary Cancer Run that has become a normal routine on the socio-sporting calendar of many Ugandans since inception.
Over the years, this run has always necessitated public gatherings across the country with proceeds realized targeted towards the brave and courageous fight against cancer.
With the Coronavirus pandemic, coupled by the current ban against public gatherings and sporting events, the organizers of this run reasoned it otherwise; to have it run scientifically, in a virtual way.
“You can run at your own pace, from wherever you are. Post your images and short videos online,” Rosette Nabbumba Nayenga, the Rotary District Governor disclosed to the media at Hotel Africana in Kampala during the official launch of this 2020 run version.
She also lauded the gold sponsors of this run who have contributed towards the 2020 Rotary Cancer Run.
“Thank you so much for this contribution. What you have done is not easy for companies to do in this period. You have done this consistently every year. I want to assure you that Rotary is known for its good stewardship of resources. Be assured that these funds will be used for the exact purpose they are meant,” Nabbumba remarked.
Nabbumba also urged the populous continuous use of masks as well as adhering to fitness and nutrition programs.
The money realized from other supportive companies, from sale of running vests (kits) and branded masks will still be channeled towards projects that help cancer patients.
Some of the projects initiated from the previous cancer runs have witnessed the installation of the Linear Accelerator Machines in specific hospitals within Kampala.
At least Shs 600M is targeted for the 2020 Rotary Virtual Cancer Run from the sale of branded masks and running kits.
Donate any amount of money directly to the cancer run account: 3100023145 or deposit to your nearest Centenary Bank agent or branch
