County Government of Meru has today made a partnership with Kevian Kenya Limited led by Managing Director Dr Kimani Rugendo at their Nairobi factory.

Kevian which manufactures Mt Kenya bottled water, Pick n Peel juices as well as both Afia fruit juices and Afia Energy drink, gave a sponsorship of Ksh 10 million towards the Mt Kenya Run championship that is slated for February 22nd at the Kenya School of Adventure and Leadership (KeSAL).

The company will be both the presenting and hydrating partner through their beverages range of brands, and also the medals awarded to participants and winners will be produced by Sterling Craft, Kevian's sister company.

The funds collected will go towards establishing a fully fledged Meru Cancer Institute, conservation and boosting tourism.

"Our county is experiencing increased cases of the cancer scourge, especially the alimentary canal related cancers. It is therefore high time for us to establish the causes as soon as possible" said Governor Kiraitu.

On his part, the Managing Director Dr Rugendo said the company was delighted to be part of the initiative whose chief objective is to combat cancer, promote tourism and conserve the environment in Meru.

He praised Governor Kiraitu for initiating such a noble course that will go a long way towards fighting the disease and called for collective intervention for long lasting solutions.
Ten ambassadors, UN team, elite runners are among the participant in the event.
Registration is ongoing at mtkenyarun.co.ke and will be closing on February 14th.
