The father of two, who is currently residing in Nakuru after he got transferred from Mombasa, embarked on a 645km run from Nakuru to Mombasa to raise funds for children suffering from cancer. “I was moved by the boy’s plight and decided to dedicate my 41st birthday to raising funds for children with cancer so that they would not suffer like my neighbour’s son,” he said. Ngala began his 645km run from Nakuru on June 17 and by Wednesday June 23, he had already reached Voi town in Taita Taveta county. The Faraja Cancer Support Centre is a Nairobi based non-governmental organisation that seeks funds from well-wishers to support cancer patients, their families and care givers. Every Friday, members visit children at the KNH’s paediatric oncology wards and use art and music to help the children relieve their pain and anxiety.
