KEMRI members of staff participated once again in this year’s Dettol Mater Heart Run. This year’s event was held on the 15th of May at the Nyayo National Stadium.  

The run began at the Nyayo National Stadium, went through Uhuru Highway to the Haille Sellasie roundabout, then via Ngong Road to the City Mortuary roundabout, went through Mbagathi Road, Langata Road, Nairobi West and finally ending at the starting point, the Nyayo National Stadium. 

The run, which is an annual event, is aimed at raising funds to help needy Kenyan children with cardiac problems to get the necessary surgery they need for their survival.
