This morning, Saturday, 9th August, 2025, the Rotary Clubs of Kasese and Kasese Snow Peaks, together with the Rotaract Club of Kasese, launched the 14th Edition of the Rotary Cancer Run in Kasese with a vibrant awareness walk through the town

Accompanied by a brass band, Rotarians and Rotaractors wore the 2025 Rotary Cancer Run kits to rally support for the cause.

In a press briefing, Rotarian Sera Recheal, President of the Rotary Club of Kasese, highlighted the pressing need to address cancer in the district, which faces a high burden of cases.

“We recently lost two people from Kasese to cancer, a clear sign that it affects us all and we must act,” she said.

Rotarians addressing the Media at Uhuru 50 Gardens shortly after the awareness walk.

Sera announced that the Rotary Clubs in Kasese aim to sell 1,000 Cancer Run kits to raise significant funds for the initiative.

Rotarian Isaya Baluku, President of the Rotary Club of Kasese Snow Peaks, encouraged community members to support the cause by purchasing kits and participating in the run.

“The event is scheduled for Sunday, August 31, 2025, offering 5KM, 10KM, and 21KM race categories to suit all fitness levels,” he shared.

Rotaractor Mulira Joackim, President of the Rotaract Club of Kasese, urged young people to join the effort, emphasizing that “cancer affects everyone, regardless of age.”

Kits can be purchased at Centenary Bank Kasese Branch, Kinuma Feeds, Kasese Nail and Wood Industry, and Sandton Hotel at UGX 30,000 shillings only.

About The Rotary Cancer Run 

The Rotary Cancer Run is an annual charity event in Uganda, organized by the Uganda Rotary Cancer Program since 2011, aimed at raising funds and awareness to combat the rising cancer crisis in the country.

The run supports the construction and equipping of the Rotary Cancer Centre at St. Francis Hospital Nsambya in Kampala. The funds raised contribute to early detection, treatment, and awareness initiatives.

The program has already built a 36 bed cancer treatment ward, operational since 2015, which has helped over 3,000 patients with chemotherapy, diagnosis, and psychological support.

According to the Uganda Rotary Cancer Program, the current goal is to complete a state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility by 2027, including bunkers for two Linear Accelerator (LINAC) machines for advanced radiotherapy, costing approximately USD 3.65 million (UGX 13.9 billion).
