GIVING DIGEST | Uganda’s Colour Run for Childhood Cancer
Some donations come through cheques. Others come through sneakers, sweat, and streaks of yellow, blue, and hope.
In May, Uganda didn’t just host a run, it unleashed a movement. The Childhood Cancer Colour Run, brought to life by the Uganda Child Cancer Foundation and the Uganda Cancer Institute, became a love letter to every child fighting cancer and a full-body declaration that we see you, we support you, and we’re not backing down.
Runners of all ages showed up in their loudest colours and biggest hearts, transforming city streets into rivers of joy, remembrance, and resistance. The Colour Run wasn’t just about fundraising, it was about belonging. It was about turning grief into glitter, pain into partnership, and diagnosis into defiance. Survivors ran with scars that spoke louder than slogans. Families ran in honour of children gone too soon. Strangers ran for children they had never met but loved in motion.
This run wasn’t just about money, it was about belonging. It was about turning grief into glitter, pain into partnership, and diagnosis into defiance. It was a reminder that giving isn’t always about what’s in your wallet, it can be your breath, your steps, your willingness to show up when it matters most.
🎗️ To run with purpose is to give with your whole body. And in Uganda, every step was a prayer, a protest, and a promise.
