FoodClique Support Initiative, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with the vision to see hunger become a thing of the past, will for the second year in a row field a team of marathoners made up of volunteers, hunger advocates and philanthropists to participate in this year’s edition of the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon in a bid to creating more awareness for hunger eradication.
FoodClique Support Initiative since inception has provided meals for thousands of individuals which include children, senior citizens, widows, physically challenged, homeless, needy families, and socially vulnerable people.
At the last edition of the marathon, World Wrapper Man, “the only man to run a marathon with a wrapper” was among the contingents of the one hundred members representing the FoodClique team that were received by the SA to the Governor on Sports Mr Deji Tinubu at the finish line.
In the words of the Founder of the body, Bolajoko Fadipe he stated: “the marathon will provide us with an avenue to collect donations to fight hunger, raise awareness and educate others about ending this ill in our society.”
He further urged everyone to be part of the marathon saying “Everyone is invited to participate at the event scheduled for Saturday, February 11th. Even if you only want to walk or run at your own pace, it will be great fun running with hunger heroes who want to help eradicate this scourge in the land and move toward a hunger-free Lagos”.
The Access Bank Lagos City Marathon enters its second year in a row with much fanfare in stock to eclipse the success of the previous edition.
