Running for a Purpose this May

Last month’s edition of The Great Leveller was a resounding success, bringing together over 50 participants for our signature monthly run. Starting and ending at the welcoming Shamba Cafe & Restaurant, the evening began like any other, until a chance encounter reminded us exactly why we do what we do.

When one of our participants had to step back mid-run, they struck up a conversation with a local gate guard named Daniel. We soon discovered that Daniel isn’t just a watchman, he is a dedicated and passionate runner. With a stopwatch in hand and a leap of faith, Daniel joined the pack and delivered a stunning performance, ultimately topping the event.

His story moved us all. Daniel has long dreamt of competing in the prestigious Lewa Marathon, and after seeing his pace over 5km, we have no doubt he belongs on that starting line. Thanks to the incredible spirit of the Loresho running community, funds were raised on the spot to cover his entry fees, transport, and nutritional support. We are proud to confirm that Daniel is now officially registered for his first major marathon.
