/in /by

Walkabout Foundation is excited to announce a special partnership with L’Oréal East Africa to support our mission of restoring mobility and creating possibilities for people in need, as a part of L’Oréal Citizen Day Programme.

 

About Walkabout Foundation

Walkabout Foundation is a non-profit that restores dignity, freedom and independence by providing wheelchairs and rehabilitation in the developing world and funding research to find a cure for paralysis.

 

About L’Oréal Citizen Day

Since its inception in 2009, Citizen Day has been L’Oréal’s flagship event dedicated to making a real impact on social and environmental causes. Citizen Day is more than just a day of volunteering—it’s a unique chance to share values of solidarity through key focus areas such as social inclusion and fighting against discrimination, mental health, well-being, mobility, and protection of the environment.

 

About the Event

Together, we will host a sports day on August 9th in Nairobi, inviting our Kenya team, L’Oréal employees and Friends of L’Oréal. This event will be wheelchair-friendly and will include our Nanyuki sitting volleyball team, embodying our belief that “it’s not just mobility, it’s possibility”.

Please note that this event is invitation only.

Dear Friends,

For 2024, I have set myself the challenge of not only running the world famous Paris Marathon, but also fundraising £250 for Walkabout Foundation. £250 is the equivalent of one life-changing wheelchairs for someone in need in the developing world. Please help me reach my target, and help Walkabout Foundation in its mission to change the world of mobility disabilities – one person, one wheelchair at a time.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to announced that I will be running the 2024 Berlin Marathon on September 29th!

I will be raising money for Walkabout Foundation, which is a UK-and US-registered charity with the mission of restoring dignity, freedom and independence by providing wheelchairs and rehabilitation in the developing world and funding research to find a cure for paralysis.

My goal is to raise £1,000, the equivalent of 4 life-changing wheelchairs for people in desperate need in the developing world. Please help me reach my target, and help Walkabout Foundation in it’s mission to change the world of mobility disabilities, one person, one wheelchair at a time.

Dear Friends and Family,

I consider myself so fortunate to be able to take part in the London Marathon!  As a way to give thanks, I am running on behalf of those that don’t have the same opportunity that I have. We oftentimes take our ability to walk, run, to move freely, for granted.  Walkabout’s mission really spoke to me because of the quest to provide life changing equipment to those in need in the developing world and beyond.  Please join me in supporting this amazing organization and their mission to change lives around the world.

We are officially about a month and half away from race day!  So far, training is going great, and I’m really thinking I can hit my PR and the lofty goal I have set for myself.  In addition to my race time goal, I am confident we can meet or exceed the fundraising goal I have set! Please consider donating to my campaign and to Walkabout if you have the chance. Walkabout is doing some amazing things for those with mobility disabilities in developing countries!  Feel free to reach out to me or check them out https://www.walkaboutfoundation.org/, if you have any questions!

Thank you all!

 

San Diego Mobility Foundation For Walkabout

There are no upcoming dates for this event.

Hi!

We are the San Diego Mobility Foundation, a group of high schoolers from San Diego who are passionate about helping others.

Currently, we are working with Walkabout Foundation, with the goal of raising $5,000 for a wheelchair repairs project in Venezuela. Some of our members are from Venezuela, and know just how difficult it is to get medical related products while living there. The lack of accessibility to essential medical equipment, like wheelchair equipment, can be a daunting and distressing experience for those affected.

So, in honour of the less-fortunate, it would mean so much if you could donate any amount of money to this campaign! Every single donation makes a difference.

Thank you!
