Running for Nyabwina: how the AMDA Run built momentum for Caravan 2026

The Second AMDA Charity Run, under the theme #TuriBamweOmuriKristo (We Are Together in Christ), was a major fundraising and visibility event for the Nyabwina Caravan.

Nyabwina received the Caravan torch from Nyamitanga in September 2025. The Run brought together members, clergy, professionals, corporate partners and friends of the archdiocese. The Chief Guest, Dr. Rosemary Byanyima, Executive Director of Mulago National Referral Hospital, urged regular health checkups, healthy lifestyles and early screening.
