The Walkers Social Club organized a fundraising walk in Blantyre to pull together 50 million kwacha for the kids' cancer unit at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, and coordinator Chiwawa Msimuko-Madise said the turnout showed what happens when people actually care about vulnerable groups getting proper medical treatment. FDH Bank dropped 10 million kwacha, while Family Health Services added another million to the pot.
Dr. Beatrice Chikaphonya Phiri from the pediatric oncology department said the ward keeps running short on medicine and diagnostic supplies that could save lives, and the cash injection will help fill those gaps. The walk route went from the hospital along Masauko Chipembere Highway to Chichiri Roundabout before looping back.
Participant Edward Kabango said he felt good about contributing to something that makes a difference for families dealing with childhood cancer diagnoses.
