Dear friends-
Your chances of winning a road race are greatly increased if you are able to break away from rest of the crowd or field.
This ability is crucial and this is what we are together offering to the runners that we are supporting. We are providing them with the extra edge, support and resources that they need to break away, excel and win. .
The lives of several underprivileged runners are being changed one at a time because of YOUR support. Because of your support, runners like Alfred are now able to train under favorable training conditions. This is giving them an extra boost.
Alfred is a happy underprivileged runner today because we have extended a helping hand in his athletic career. Alfred has since been able to train and compete locally in Kenya at different road races ranging from the 10K to full marathon. He is currently preparing to take part in the great Standard Chartered Bank Marathon which will be taking place in Nairobi on October 26th. Alfred will be competing in the full marathon race during the event. We wish him the very best!
Alfred like most of the other underprivileged in Kenya will be using the Standard Chartered Bank Marathon event as an opportunity to secure himself a chance to break away from poverty. Alfred has shown potential of becoming a successful marathon runner given the necessary support. So far he has be able to run a personal best of 2 hours and 16 minutes in full marathon competition at high altitude venue.
Because of YOUR support, the lives of Alfred and many others like him will never be the same. Thanks so much for your kind assistance!
