#JANFUNRUN

By -
The 2015 JAN Fun Run was a success and a Fun day out for all. Our 5K runners; some of whom had ran 11km earlier that morning (Road Warriors), not only had enough energy to run, but they also went through two warm-up sessions from a Truppr fitness trainer and Mara Mentor: The Body Alchemist.

In addition to the 5km Run, we had 4-A-Side soccer, Tug-of-War, Sack race, a bouncy castle for kids and entertainment.

Aunty Ayo Girls Secondary School and Fountain Heights Secondary School not only participated in our activities, but they also raised funds for JAN.

We're taking the lessons learned and assure you that our 2016 Fun Run is going to be bigger and better.

More photos, video footage and race details coming soon!

Special thanks for ExxonMobil, The Dangote Group, Road Warriors, Zircon Marine, ARG Studios, Valmont Water, The Mara Foundation and Yudala for supporting our event.

The journey of four years ends today. I have finally achieved the goal of bagging a degree in Economics. I know I’m supposed to be happy. But where will I find a paying and befitting job to take care of Mama and my siblings?
