Blood Run Marathon
The Blood Run Marathon is a global marathon that is implemented globally through our Warrior Teams and organization associates. The marathon acts as a platform from which we create awareness and advocate for better sickle cell disease health services provision which includes; health care service policies, legal environments that uplift the sickle cell health care services.
To implement the Blood Run Marathon, Warrior Teams work locally to implement the Blood Run Marathon by reaching out to local organizations, companies and supporters to work together towards realising the marathon. Companies sponsor the event, non-profit organizations that are like minded get to participate in the event to provide value to persons affected by SCD and education and awareness to the general public as the event hosts a spectrum of resourceful people, organizations and companies.

We mobilize funding all year round from individual donors around the world using platforms such as Global Giving, Go Fund Me, PayPal among others to mobilise financial resources to support Warrior Teams that continue to be established from country to country across the globe.
