Kampala, Uganda -Centenary Bank is set to donate 110M to the annual Rotary Cancer Run which is to take place on 28th August 2016. The official launch of the run took place at the Cancer Centre at Nsambya Hospital which is one of the fruits of the Rotary club. As a part of it’s efforts in the fight against cancer, Centenary bank has joined hands with the Rotary Club in various cancer initiatives such as screening and testing.
This year, the Rotary Cancer Run will focus on raising money needed to equip the Cancer Ward at Nsambya Hospital with Linear Accelerator. The linear Accelerator is a cancer treatment machine that offers a safer alternative where cancerous cells are destroyed without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Fabian Kasi, the Managing Director of Centenary Bank who was among the speakers at the launch reminded the public that Centenary Bank has been among the supporters of the Rotary clubs cancer activities and initiatives for over 6years now and will continue to be a part of the fight against cancer in Uganda.
“The run is one of my team’s key events every year not only because it is part of the Bank’s philanthropy activities but it also joins us from the 65 branches spread country wide into one centre,” Fabian Kasi added.
During the launch of the run, Charles Peter Mayiga, the Katikiro of Buganda expressed how close to home the fight against cancer is to him and he urged all subjects of the Kabaka should be a part of the fight against cancer in one way or another.
“This cancer run is not only a great way to show support in Rotary’s efforts to kick cancer out of the country but also one of the ways we can stay healthy and in shape.” The Katikiro of Buganda added.
