What an incredible day for the Zambia Paediatric Association (ZPA) and the Lusaka Fitness Squad!

Our President, Dr Donald Bwalya Mumba, who is also a proud member of the Lusaka Fitness Club, completed an amazing 56km marathon to raise awareness about supporting the children at the National Heart Hospital.

The goal? To bring smiles to these brave little ones through toys and reading books
We also want to give a huge shoutout to:
• Our former Treasurer, Dr. Cheelo Mwiinga, who ran an impressive 31 km in the same spirit!
• The amazing Team Kalulushi, who joined the cause and ran 10km to show their support for the children!
The National Heart Hospital was beautifully represented by Medical Director Dr. Agnes Mtaja, a dedicated ZPA member who joined us in this noble cause.

A massive THANK YOU to:
• Dr. Donald Bwalya Mumba for running the full 56km
• Dr. Cheelo Mwiinga for her 31 km effort
• Team Kalulushi for their fantastic 10km run
• Lusaka Fitness Club for organising and supporting this inspiring event
• National Heart Hospital for the amazing work they do every day

Please continue to support these children by dropping off toys, storybooks, and educational materials at the designated collection points shown on the poster.

Meet Dr Donald Bwalya Mumba

Donald is running a *56K ultramarathon from Lusaka to Kafue*, pushing his physical limits, to support children born with congenital heart disease who need life-saving heart interventions to survive. Every step he runs is for the little hearts receiving care at the National Heart Hospital.

All donations raised through this initiative will go directly toward supporting children who need heart interventions at the hospital. Beyond financial support, Donald also encourages the community to donate toys and books, which can be dropped off at the UTH Children’s Hospital or the National Heart Hospital to bring comfort and joy.

Donald’s run is a reminder that when one person chooses to act, many lives can be touched. 💙
