OUR PROGRAMMES

Sickle Cell Marathon

Run for a cause — every step raises funds and awareness for those living with sickle cell disease and builds a stronger community.

Moving for Change

The Sickle Cell Marathon is more than just a race—it's a movement. Hundreds of participants run, jog, and walk to raise funds for SCD programmes while raising awareness about the disease. Every kilometer covered represents hope, resilience, and solidarity with the SCD community.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or joining us for the first time, the marathon welcomes all fitness levels and celebrates the courage of people living with SCD.
