Operation 25 Is Here With Us

What seemed to be ages away a while back is here. Operation 25 takes place this Saturday and all systems are getting together well. As promised we write to update you on the latest and also to issue you with the days itinerary.

1) Registered Walkers: We had targeted to register at least 210 walkers. To date we have issued 280 registration cards. As at Sunday 21st Sept out of these 280, 106 were fully paid up for the walk. A further 30 had made partial payments while the rest totalling 144 were yet to make any settlements. From the target we had hoped to raise 210,000/-. So far we have managed to collect 138,580/-. We hope and trust that those with balances will settle and a good percentage of the card holders will remit as well. We shall keep updating you as we move along.

2) Itinerary for the day: As was announced we commence signing in procedure at 7:00AM for a 7:45AM flag-off. It is important to be early to allow some few logistics to take place and start off early before it gets too hot.

3) The Route: The 25KM route will start at the Church proceeding towards Githurai 44, Kamiti, Kamiti Corner, Kirigiti, KIST, Ridgeways, Windsor, St Joseph Arimathea, USIU, Mirema and back to the Church.

4) What to carry: Kindly dress appropriately with special attention to the footwear. You need not carry any water since we have been proudly supplied with bottled water by one of the walkers. We shall also be distributing sweets and glucose at designated points. Further, lunch will be served to all participants at the end of the walk.

5) Safety Issues: We have a few first aid volunteers. However, for your own safety we urge you to keep to the right side of the road, off the main road and on the pathways. For all bikers, kindly adhere to traffic rules. Several chase cars will be doing the rounds and will be available to assist at any time.

6) Things to lookout for: The oldest walker who is also the top male walker Mzee Wachira a.k.a ‘mbio mbio’. Also be on the lookout for the reigning All Africa Games Walk Gold Medalist Grace Wanjiru, keep up with these two if you can!!

In summary, kindly remember that this doubles up as a Get – Together Fellowship and we are encouraged to engage with one another as much as possible. We encourage you to know someone new!! Further, remember that the proceeds of this walk go towards StAY Alive’s KATAA Initiative. Your continued support of the campaign against drugs is very much appreciated.
