After a relaxing night in the rain forest lodge and listening to the animal noises all night we woke up at 5am and after a quick wash there was breakfast for some of the team.
We met our friends from GEOlodges at the main road and ran with them to Lugazi.
It was a great pleasure running with the fun and energetic team from GEOlodges. Thank you so much for your support all through this project and we did appreciate you getting us off to a great start in the morning.
All the team ran well today and completed 15km legs each. We were joined by other Red Cross volunteers on the last leg to Kampala and even the Major at Mukono!! We met the local volunteers on the way who were running first aid and road safety demonstrations to the local community and buda buda drivers/ motorbike riders.
The volunteers have done an amazing job and the branch have made such a difference to the communites. I would like to say thank you to all the volunteers and community members that have helped us on this project, it has been a pleasure to work with you all.
As we left Mukono and entered the Kampala suburbs it dawned on us that we had done an amazing job on getting through the run this year and the weather has supported us!!! We have only one day left and there is just a 5km to the closing event to come...
After reaching Kampala, we retraced our journey to Mukono and was welcomed by Patrick and his team of volunteers. He reported that over 60 volunteers had been trained in first aid and they would now be training others in first aid over the next few months. We were given a demonstration of the skills that they had learn't and heard how active they are.
