Giving Digest | Cancer Run 2025; Running to Save Lives
When 60,000 people gathered for the Cancer Run this year, it was not just a race, it was an act of collective giving. Raising Shs3.5 billion, Rotarians and well-wishers pushed Uganda closer to completing a cancer treatment centre that will bring world-class radiotherapy to those in need. Each step on that chilly Sunday morning was a reminder that when people come together to give, whether in time, money, or solidarity, lives can be saved.
But the journey isn’t over. With Shs12 billion already raised, Uganda still needs Shs6.5 billion to see this centre open its doors by 2027. Cancer doesn’t wait, and neither should we. Join the movement: register for next year’s run, donate toward the centre, or sponsor a kit for someone else to run. Your gift today ensures treatment, hope, and dignity tomorrow. Together, let’s finish the race to save lives.
