Shoe4Africa

I’m running the 2027 Sanlam Cape Town Marathon in support of Shoe4Africa, a cause that is deeply personal to me. Shoe4Africa is helping build sub-Saharan Africa’s first children’s cancer hospital in Kenya, giving children fighting cancer access to care, treatment, and hope. Cancer has affected my own family, so this is more than just a marathon for me. It is personal. I’m running to honor loved ones who have battled cancer and to help children in Africa who deserve a fighting chance. My fundraising goal is $2,500, and every donation, big or small, helps make a difference. Thank you for supporting this journey and helping turn miles into hope for children and families who need it most.

On May 23, 2027, I am taking on the challenge of the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon to raise $3,000 for Shoe4Africa. Having worked as an Oncology and Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner for 15 years, I know firsthand the physical and emotional weight a cancer diagnosis carries. In Africa, 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer tragically do not survive, largely due to a lack of specialized medical facilities. Your donation goes directly toward building the Shoe4Africa Cancer Hospital, which will be the very first dedicated children's cancer center on the entire continent. My career has been defined by providing comfort and care to patients in their hardest moments; now, I am using my feet to race for a future where these kids have a real fighting chance. Please donate today to help me hit my $3,000 goal and deliver life-saving medicine, infrastructure, and hope to thousands of brave children. ❤️❤️❤️
