Ugandans and other citizens in the country thronged the UMA Grounds in Lugogo to take part in the Rotary Cancer Run 2024 on Sunday.

More than 10,000 people registered for the 13th edition of the Rotary Cancer Run with proceeds from the Shs30,000 and other donations going into the setting up of standard facilities for cancer patients at Nsambya Hospital, which according to organisers is targeted to be completed by 2027.
