Our Story
The Leave No Medic Behind Initiative Charity Run is a fundraising project by the Association of Medical Students of the University of Nairobi (AMSUN) to meet the financial needs of underprivileged students in the School of Medicine.
How it began
It began in 2017 when the then 5th year medical school class had a classmate who was almost denied to sit for their end of year exams because of a fees balance of less than sh 20,000.
His classmates rallied together, each giving what they could and with that the student was able to sit for his exams and hence Leave No Medic Behind (LNMB) was born. Initially, LNMB primarily did student-centered fundraising using the harambee model however in 2022, there emerged the idea to organise for a charity run.
The inaugural 2022 charity run was a huge success with over 650 t-shirts being sold and about 550 attendees coming for the run.
