My fundraiser for Friends of Toowa

Kieran Pattni is raising money for Friends of Toowa

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Toowa is a small village, located near Lugazi in Uganda. With a population of about 6000 the majority living in poverty due partly due to the current high levels of illiteracy in the population. Toowa Primary School provides local access to education for the many local children to both reduce the travel by foot for those children attending schools in neighbouring areas and to reduce the many social problems arising from lack of access to education. Friends of Toowa supports children to attend school through sponsorship, the development of the school estates and delivery of health and public health programmes.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page

In April 2026, I’ll be running my first ever marathon in London!

This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m super excited and grateful to have got a place.

The charity I’ve chosen is a small but powerful charity that supports a primary school and village in Uganda. The children and their families here are living in poverty.

The money I raise will go towards sponsoring children so that they can attend school, as well as helping to provide hot meals for the children to eat at school. It will also go towards ongoing projects at the school so that it can continue to support the 600 students that attend. With it being a small charity, your donations will make a huge impact on a number of lives.

Training is going well so far, with a half marathon already under my belt, so fingers crossed I’ll be flying round come April!

Thank you so much for your support.
