Running in Memory of Heroes + Heroines of Zimbabwe's Cancer Story!

.R.
"There is so much more we can do collectively to support families and individuals affected by and battling with cancer. I am supporting these patients for two reasons. The first one is that it's an initiative started by a young Zimbabwean. The future of our country and citizens is in our hands and so I like to support initiatives by "Young Zimbabwe" because if we support and endorse each other's initiatives as we evolve, there's hope for what we can collectively achieve and contribute to our country and people as the emerging leaders of 263.

The second reason is simple. I have a voice and influence and I chose this marathon to use my voice ( or feet rather) to lend my time, voice and spirit to the plight many families and individuals experience dealing with cancer.

Participating and completing a half marathon and full marathon have been on my bucket list for the longest time. This year, I made a commitment to myself to see through all the fitness and health aspirations I've done either half heartedly/ without planning/ or given up on over the years. Completing the half marathon will be a celebration of my commitment to health and because I believe if you can, everyone should attempt at least one half or full marathon in their life!"

Lorraine:
"I am running to support these patients because I am grateful to God for good health and realise that it's a gift that I can never do enough to show my gratitude for. Thus helping the next person that can't help themselves makes it a worthy enough cause for me.

Also, I have a desire to have an internationally acclaimed record my passion for fitness. I wanted an official record that I could look back on and be proud of one day and even show my kids thus challenge them to a healthy lifestyle."
