Description (show more)

And over to a story of glory to poverty, where the life of a once-celebrated Kenyan athlete who dominated the international scene in Tokyo, Japan, has now turned into a tale of pain and betrayal. That is the story of Beatrice Murugi, a celebrated athlete who represented Kenya in international marathons and is now struggling to put food on the table after her career was cut short by a tendon injury and a strange illness that has left her abdomen swollen. Beatrice is seeking help to fulfil her dream of getting back to the track in 2029, when Kenya will be hosting the World Athletics Championships.
