We are targeting UGX 18,795,000 (Eighteen million seven hundred ninety five Thousand Shillings) from the marathon to help in re-roofing a school block at the lower section that has asbestos on it which is a health hazard thus exposing our school children and all stakeholders to the risk of contracting cancer. We are calling upon all old boys and girls to support the initiative by buying a running kit at only 10,000 Shs at Lake Victoria School, Lake Vic. School Head Teacher Stephen Nabende revealed.
