Why I’m running the Chicago Marathon’

I’ve been training for the last couple of months for my first ever international marathon, which is coming up this Sunday, October 13, in Chicago.

I feel I’m ready for it and I’m ready to conquer it.

I’m running because I also want to give back to that needy child way back in the villages who have the potential but don’t have the means. That needy child who needs school fees to go to school so that he or she can be able to achieve full potential.

So far, through the Joe Sang Foundation, we have been able to see enormous support from Kenyans who have been able to contribute a good amount of money towards this initiative.

I’m running the Chicago Marathon for impact. To transform a life, and to help that needy child way back in the villages whose parents don’t have the means to pay their school fees.

Under the Joe Sang Foundation, we will be able to help the underprivileged to go to school.

My friends challenged me and that’s when I decided to run the Chicago Marathon.

I will be running, not as Managing Director, but as an individual to create an impact to society.”

This (Endowment Fund) will go into perpetuity. It will outlive me, outlive all of us and in future, I’d like people to say ‘there lived a man who created the Joe Sang Foundation that has educated children.’

This dream will be a reality and that’s why I’m appealing for support and contributions.

I’m kindly requesting you to support this initiative and donate to the Joe Sang Foundation, and together we shall transform a child’s life, one child at a time.
