Thanks everybody for your support! Because of the generosity of our friends, family and colleagues, we raised 71000 KSH ($825), which is enough for 90 fine needle aspirates, 73 inpatient days, 3.5 major surgeries or 16 days in the ICU. When the average yearly income of someone in Kenya is $750, you can imagine what a difference this makes!
Actually by the time we finished, we had raised $950!
The run was STRAIGHT UP for about 5 km from Kijabe hospital to the "freeway" - road from Nairobi to Navaisha and Nakuru, and I'm not sure where. Rochelle made it to the top where whe met Panina (secretary). She and Panina walked/ran about another KM then turned around and headed back. Run/walk down was just about as bad - easier on the breathing but hard on the legs!
I think the link will work to go to FB photos; if not will try to post more.... keeping up with FB and blogs is a little overwhelming, especially since photos are too big to post directly to the blog site!
