Dr Boitumelo Pule-Kitchin turned 40 years in October 2017. She decided to celebrate her birthday differently by raising funds for Cancer Association of Botswana by running the same number of kilometers as her age. Together with some friends, colleagues and running enthusiasts they braved the early morning drizzle and set out to run 40km. The run was tough and took over 5 hours but it was a success. Bongaka Health Care was the main sponsor for the event but there were many other sponsors who made this day a success. We will forever be grateful to everyone who contributed into turning this dream into a reality.
