Rotatory Cancer Run 2022
Rotatory Cancer Run 2022 will mark the 11th edition as an annual event organized since 2012. The event bridges the gap in the fight against the cancer scourge by building a one-stop cancer screening and treatment center at Nsambya Hospital, Kampala.
Over the years, the Rotary Cancer Run has attracted over 50,000 participants annually from Uganda and the diaspora. These people have supported either through direct donations, charity drives or by attending the run to raise funds to set up facilities for Cancer treatment in Uganda.

In total, over 3.6 billion Ugandan Shillings have been raised, and many other forms of support in kind rendered to facilitate the fight against cancer in Uganda.
