Stanchart Marathon Winner Kwamboka To Give Away Her Prize Money

The 2013 Nairobi Standard Chartered marathon was hosted on 27th of October at the Nyayo National Stadium.

Hundred’s of Kenyan’s turned up to support a worthy cause in running to give give sight to the blind. Not to mention the Nairobi Governor Dr. Evans Kidero this Marathon race was meant to be a fulfilling one.

In the women’s race it was a tight race between Winfridah Kwamboka and Florence Chepsoi and ultimately Kwamboka came on top.

The humble Kwamboka even after winning a prize money of 1.5 Million shillings she spoke modestly and pledged to donate some of her prize money to homes for the blind.

She said :

“I thank God my prayer prevailed and that is why I will donate some money to charity especially homes for the blind,” said Kwamboka. Mung’ara and Kwamboka pocketed Sh1.5m each.
