Why we run
The run is the Foundation’s biggest fundraiser. Entry fees, corporate teams and pledge-per-kilometre sponsorships all land in the free care fund — the money that keeps 10% of the hospital’s work free.
KES 21M raised in 2025 funded the year’s five county medical camps and every weekend free clinic. The 2026 target adds a sixth county.
