23rd May 2026: <\/strong>A sea of green flowed through the streets of Nairobi on Saturday, May 23, 2026, as more than 100 employees from Isuzu East Africa joined thousands of participants in the Mater Heart Run 2026 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joined by their family members, employees turned up in large numbers to support the annual charity initiative that raises funds for life-saving heart surgeries for children. The event brought together people from different organizations and communities under one shared purpose; Touching a child\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day began with a reflection by His Grace Most Reverend Philip Arnold Subira Anyolo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Nairobi, Catholic Church, who challenged participants with the question, \u201cHow is your heart?\u201d His message encouraged runners to reflect not only on physical wellness, but also on compassion, kindness, and the importance of standing together in support of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From KICC through the Upper Hill route and back, the run became more than a fitness activity. It provided employees with an opportunity to connect beyond the workplace, strengthen teamwork, and participate in a meaningful cause alongside their families and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
