I’m so proud to announce that I’m taking part in the Cape Town Marathon on May 24th, 2026 ! Save the date!!! The Goal: Help us reach $3,000—it’s a race for life! I‘m running to support Shoe4Africa , a charity dedicated to helping children fight cancer . Every dollar raised goes directly toward building Sub-Saharan Africa’s first public children’s cancer hospital. Today, 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa do not survive. This isn’t because their cancers are untreatable, but simply because the right care isn’t available. That’s why this race means so much to me. It’s an opportunity to change those odds and do something real to help these children.  Africa is calling, and I’m responding—from Italy, with my heart and my legs!

Hi! On May 24th 2026, I’ll be running the Cape Town Marathon! 26.2 miles fueled not just by training, but by purpose. This run is for the children of Kenya who are fighting the hardest battle of their lives: cancer. I am raising funds for Shoe4Africa , an incredible organization that is building Kenya’s first ever children’s cancer hospital, a place where children can receive life saving treatment close to home, with dignity, hope, and care. For many families in Kenya, cancer treatment is simply out of reach. Long travel, high costs, and limited facilities mean that too many children never get the chance they deserve. This hospital will change that. It will save lives. Shoe4Africa has already transformed thousands of lives through healthcare, education, empowerment, and the power of running . What started with shoes has become a movement, one that proves that sport can change the world. Every step I take in this marathon is for a child who can’t run. Every mile is a reminder that together, we can give hope where it’s needed most. 💙 How You can Help: Donate: no amount is too small. Every dollar brings this hospital closer to reality. Share this page to help spread the word. Run with me in spirit , knowing your support is helping save children’s lives. Thank you for believing in this cause, for supporting me, and most importantly, for standing with children who deserve a future. MB
