We are pleased to announce the news that I Love Africa (ILA) activist and charity runner Suzanne “Africa” Engo is raising money for MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation, by running across Europe and Africa.
“I Love Africa” is a project dreamt up by Suzanne “Africa” that was planned to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in Africa, originally by running from New York to Chicago back in 2008.
Check out what Africa had to say about the challenge she is facing for the second time around:
“I am running again because until this is over we must continue, we must fight, we must stay the long distance course till we win the fight against AIDS I look forward to meeting the people of Europe and then returning home to run in Africa I am honoured, I am thrilled, I am READY”
Africa’s campaign will be coinciding with the World Cup in South Africa 2010, which could prove the perfect time to catch the attention of the world, getting the issue of HIV/AIDS out to as many people as possible.
Africa will also be blogging every step of the way on MTV Staying Alive and we will no doubt be keeping you posted on how she is getting on via our Facebook Fanpage and our Twitter.
