Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko confirmed his participation in the BEYOND ZERO Nairobi Marathon, an initiative by First Lady Margret Kenyatta. He is the first top politician to do so for this year's event.
A number of key figures from the corporate world have also confirmed their participation. A few weeks prior, First Lady Margret Kenyatta hosted top female radio personalities at State House Nairobi for an early morning jog as part of the preparations.
The Beyond Zero campaign, similar to the Sonko Rescue Team, is gaining traction among lower-income residents in the city.
The Sonko Rescue Team recently received support from the Kenya Red Cross Society, which offered training for staff in basic emergency rescue skills, including first aid.
