All roads will Sunday lead to Sunday, August 26 at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds for the famous 2018 Rotary Cancer Run, an annual event dedicated to helping Ugandans battling the disease.
Unlike the previous years, participants have the opportunity this year to choose who they are running to save or remember.
“This year we want to drive awareness of the reasons why people want to take part in the cancer run. We all know of a friend, workmate, or loved one who has passed because of Cancer,” said Henry Rugambwa, the Secretary Rotary Club of Kampala.
This year’s run has attracted big sponsors Centenary Bank and will take place on Sunday, August 26 at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds and in all major towns across the country. Tickets cost Shs25,000 each.
Proceeds from the run shall go towards the purchase of two Linear Accelerators (modern cancer treatment machines) and building of two bunkers at Nsambya Hospital. The estimated cost for both the machines and bunkers is USD 4.5 million, approximately Shs18 billion.
The Rotary Cancer Run has attracted sponsors with Centenary Bank sinking in a cash contribution of Ushs 155M in this noble cause.
