RUN FOR
EAST AFRICA.

25 km. $20,000. Ten lives.

This fall, our founder Richard will run the Patapsco Valley 25km with a goal of raising $20,000 to provide life-saving care to children from East Africa.

One race. Ten children. A lifetime of impact.

Our purpose

The care a child needs should never be out of reach.

The Basic Needs Program seeks to expand access to specialized medical care for children and young adults with heart disease. We work in alliance with doctors and hospitals on the ground to empower them to provide care.

Where we work

Care reaches further together.

All locations
Access East Africa

Life-saving care without borders.

Based in Rwanda, Access East Africa creates a pathway to specialized medical care for children from countries across the East African region who otherwise may not have access to the treatment they need.

A child’s country of birth should never determine whether they can receive life-saving care.

Be part of the work

Every child deserves a chance at care.
