The Virunga Mountains Marathon is organized to fundraise and raise awareness about the mission to equip the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Kisoro Hospital and the very first ICU in the District.

Anesthesiologist and Intensive Care Specialist Dr. Arthur Kwizera is the vision bearer that formed the original thought to establish an ICU at Kisoro Hospital.
Early reports indicate that Dr. Kwizera, a native of Busanza Sub County in Kisoro District was driven in part, to set up the ICU in Kisoro after a devastating loss of his own father who died while at Kisoro Hospital due to lack of ICU services.
