Organisers unveil charity partners for Okpekpe Race

Organisers of the IAAF Bronze Label Okpekpe International 10km Road Race have unveiled three charity partners for the fourth edition of the race, which holds on Saturday.

Spokesman for the race, Dare Esan, revealed that the first Charity run would be for breast cancer, which will be anchored by Miss Nigeria in conjunction with Sebeccly Cancer Care.

“Sebeccly Cancer Care is dedicated to cancer prevention and committed to helping more women survive breast cancer in Nigeria. They want to use the Okpekpe 10km Road Race to raise awareness about the causes and prevention of breast cancer as well as screen the rural women for breast cancer,” said Esan.

The second Charity will be for the orphanage by We Care Trust, which is a pet project of Mrs. Lara Oshiomhole, wife of the Governor of Edo State.
