A MESSAGE FROM Matthew Reid's Fundraising Page - NYC Marathon - Shoe4Africa
Join Me in Making a Difference for Kids Fighting Cancer! On November 1st, 2026, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes and hitting the streets to take part in the TCS New York City Marathon. But this run is about more than just crossing the finish line — it’s about giving hope to children battling cancer in sub-Saharan Africa.
I’m running to support Shoe4Africa in their mission to build the very first children’s cancer hospital in sub-Saharan Africa (pop. over 1.3 billion). In Kenya alone, countless children face a heartbreaking reality: cancer diagnoses often come without access to treatment. This hospital will change that, providing care, saving lives, and giving these kids a fighting chance.
Will you join me in this life-changing effort? Every dollar raised brings us closer to making this hospital a reality. Your support will directly impact children who desperately need access to treatment and hope. (All donations are tax deductible). Together, we can give these kids the brighter future they deserve. Thank you for believing in this cause and for cheering me on as I run to make a difference.
