On October 13, 2013 many of them will gather in the rural village of Kipkaren to run a marathon in celebration of World Hospice Day. The run will begin and end at Kimbilio Hospice and will honor the lives and the memory of our guests.
Stories will be shared, photos displayed. We will laugh and rejoice. We will be silent and remember.
The Kiswahili word Kimbilio, when literally translated, means “a place to run to.” For the sick and dying, in desperate need of care, Kimbilio Hospice has lived up to its name. And we believe it is worth running for. Will you join the team?
On this Sunday morning in October, we anticipate men, women and children to come together for the sake of community, to create awareness and to raise funds for the ongoing work of Kimbilio Hospice. And the runners, with unfathomable speed and endurance, will run.
As we have prayed, dreamed and planned Kenya’s marathon, we have imagined friends from around the world, joining us in this meaningful occasion. In Swahili, the word harambee means: “let’s come together.” We want to do just that.
We are inviting you to join Team Living Room. Your running will help adults and children at Kimbilio Hospice receive hope and freedom from pain. For full details, go to www.TeamLivingRoom.org.
