The Heart to Heart Foundation has announced that the annual heart to heart run meant to raise funds for surgeries for children with cardiac issues has been postponed.
The Heart to Heart Foundation under The Karen Hospital noted that the heart run was initially set to take place on June 15.
"We regret to inform you that the Karen Hospital Heart Run, originally set for June 15, 2024, has been rescheduled due to unforeseen changes in the academic calendar caused by recent floods," the foundation said on Sunday.
The heart run has been rescheduled to July 6.
Additionally, the gathering venue of the heart run has been changed.
Fundraisers were initially supposed to convene at the Carnivore grounds in Nairobi for the heart run.
"We will now gather at the Ulinzi Sports Complex Lang'ata," the communique said.
The heart run will commence from 6:30 am till 3 pm.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we adapt to these challenging circumstances," the communique said.
"Your support is crucial, and we hope you can join us on the new date to contribute to this vital cause."
Last year, the Heart to Heart run was graced by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua among other state leaders.
The Heart To Heart Foundation is dedicated to the control prevention and treatment of heart disease in children.
Heart to Heart Foundation was established in 1993 under the trustee's act of the laws of Kenya.
To date, the foundation has assisted or been directly involved in over 300 open heart surgeries on children who had no hope as their parents were to pay.
The foundation was established by two founder trustees cardiologists Betty Gikonyo and Dan Gikonyo.
