I have been selected to run the London Marathon in April 2026 in support of Amref Health Africa with three other colleagues!
Having called Nigeria home for eight years, this organisation comes close to my heart. I have witnessed firsthand the importance of equitable healthcare access. I am thrilled to take on this challenge and to give back to a region that means so much to me.
Amref Health Africa is Africa's leading health NGO, headquartered in Nairobi. Their belief that health is a human right underpins everything they do. They partner with communities in 35 countries to sustainably strengthen health systems and improve access to life-saving care. Their projects focus on four key areas: Maternal & Child Health, Health Worker Training, Sexual Reproductive Health & Rights, and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene, all designed to help families and their communities access their right to health.
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference - and thanks to GSK, every penny raised will be matched, doubling the impact!
