How it Started

Lifestyle diseases, like obesity and heart disease, result from poor diet, inactivity, and unhealthy habits. These preventable conditions have become a major health burden, especially with the rise of sedentary urban lifestyles.

To address this, our Ggaba Road community organized a run to raise awareness about the impact of lifestyle choices on overall well-being. We are also launching a Virtual Community Wellness Centre, providing online resources to help individuals adopt healthier habits and improve physical, mental, and emotional health.

Our Objectives

Have fun and socialize.
Create awareness of lifestyle diseases.
Raise funds to start a Virtual Community Wellness Centre.
Engage the community through the Virtual Community Wellness Centre to promote healthy choices.
Reverse or prevent health conditions caused by lifestyle choices.

About Last Year

Last year’s run brought the community together with over 200 enthusiastic participants hitting the streets, cheered on by neighbors along Ggaba Road. Some spectators couldn’t resist and joined in the fun! In the weeks leading up to the event, local scouts took to the streets every Sunday, handing out over 3,000 flyers and spreading the word about the importance of healthy living.

While we made some strides in raising awareness about lifestyle diseases, we realized it wasn’t enough to drive the change we hoped for. This year, we’re ready to make an even bigger impact!
