#488FORKIBRA: CYNTHIA NYAMAI SUFFERS HEAT STROKE WHILE WALKING FROM MOMBASA TO NAIROBI

Media personality Cynthia Nyamai is on a journey to walk for 488 kilometres from Mombasa to Nairobi for a charity walk dubbed #488forKibra.

Nyamai is on a mission to raise Sh66.6 million for the construction of a football stadium and ablution facilities for both girls and boys at Olympic Primary School and the Kibra community. She is currently on her 7th day today and has had some challenges while walking long distances, “Today I suffered a heat stroke and fell. I lost my bearing for a few minutes but I’m grateful that I was not walking too close to the road.

It felt strange losing control of my body but I saw the hand of God. Thank you so much for your prayers. It really makes a difference. Tomorrow we hit another 42 km to Kibwezi , we know He has gone ahead of you. You can send your donation to till 8126274.#488forKibra”

The media personality started her journey on December 1, “6:20am almost getting to 10km. We are looking to raise Sh66,680,000 to build a multipurpose pitch at Olympic Primary. The works involves construction of a football stadium facility complete with bleachers all round the pitch, teams changing for both boys and girls, ablution facilities for both girls and boys, stadium lighting, drainage facilities, anti-climb fencing around the pitch, complete marking of pitch to approval, pitch accessories including goal posts etc. Kindly escort me today as we complete another 40km!”

She also added, “If you see a woman showering in the middle of the road, kindly she’s not crazy. It’s just too hot in Mombasa and I have to cover 40km everyday. I have children in Kibra who must have a new pitch by end of December.”
