Medical Students of the University of Nairobi (AMSUN) have organized a Charity run to raise funds to support the underprivileged students in the institution's School of Medicine.
Dubbed Leave NoMedic Behind (LNMB), the run began in 2017 when the then 5th-year medical school class had a classmate who was almost denied the chance to sit end-of-year exams because of a fee balance of less than Sh20,000.
His classmates rallied together, each giving what they could and with that, the student was able to sit for his exams.
It is from there that Leave NoMedic Behind (LNMB) was born.
Initially, LNMB primarily did student-centered fundraising using the harambee model however in 2022, there emerged the idea to organise for a charity run.
The inaugural 2022 charity run saw about 550 attendees participating in the run.
The 2nd annual LNMB charity run will take place on Saturday, April, 29.
The run has been divided into two: 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre races.
The 5-kilometre route will start at KMTC field > KNH gate at the Mbagathi Rd pedestrian bridge > Join Upperhill Links Rd > Turn left at the Real Towers junction @ Hospital Rd > U-turn to the opposite lane along Hospital rd @the KNH main gate > Proceed along Hospital rd to the roundabout with Elgon rd > Britam Tower> Turn right @ the Mara Rd roundabout > Turn right @ the British High Commission and proceed along Upper Hill Rd towards Don Bosco Church roundabout > Turn right at the upper hill rd/Elgon rd junction to join Elgon Rd > Proceed towards the Elgon rd/Hospital roundabout> Proceed along Hospital rd to the Hospital rd/Ngong rd junction > Turn left, joiningNgong rd > Turn left at the KMTC gate and head to the finish point @ the KMTC field.
