RUGBY LEGENDS
UGANDA RUGBY CRANES LEGENDS
Alex Mubiru expressed their gratitude: “We are very happy because the Legends Marathon perfectly aligns with our Rugby Legends purpose.”
MOSES KIPSIRO
3X COMMONWEALTH CHAMPION, OLYMPIAN
We need to empower each other. You’re a star when active and you need to remain one even after retiring. For the Legends Marathon, you can count on me 100%
NAOME KAYONDO
FORMER WOMEN'S CRICKET NATIONAL TEAM CAPTAIN
I run an academy and have done sports management courses. But not everyone has got that opportunity and that’s why the Legends Marathon is refreshing
GANZI MUGULA
OLYMPIAN (SWIMMING)
Most of our colleagues that we speak to are depressed, and some have turned into alcoholics. So we have to support initiatives like the Legends Marathon to help address that.
MUJIB KASULE (R)
Former Uganda Cranes player, Coach, Caf instructor, Director Proline Soccer Academy
Many people think the biggest problem former athletes face is not having money after retirement but it is loneliness; not having what to do and not being recognised. After 10 years of singing your name in the stands and getting things on a silver platter stops, reality hits you. You start asking yourself what to do. That is when problems start. And that’s why I’m very happy with The Legends Marathon initiative.
ALSO PART OF THE JOURNEY...
DENNIS ONYANGO
FORMER UGANDA CRANES CAPTAIN, CURRENT MAMELODI SUNDOWNS GOALKEEPER
It is a good thing to have an opportunity to meet the likes of Kipsiro, run with them and learn from them; it must feel good. I just watched them on TV and I would love to interact with them and share ideas on how we can transform our lives as athletes. Transitioning is a huge topic because at the end of the day, your body will tell you, I am done. Unfortunately, most clubs do not help much with this so when you have initiatives like The Legends Marathon that help athletes, it is a good thing. I love the idea from Andrew because people normally forget athletes when they retire.
FLAVIA OKETCHO
BASKETBALL ROYALTY: Former National Women's Basketball Team Captain, skipper of the JKL Lady Dolphins.
Don’t just talk about the change. Be the change, and that’s why I’m happy about the Legends Marathon.
DEO AKOPE
PROFESSIONAL GOLFING LEGEND
Looking at The Legends Marathon, I kept asking myself, ‘where has the government been on this?’ We have seen people die, people who’ve represented the country. I am 100 percent behind this initiative; this is supposed to be a government programme but I’m happy my friend here has initiated it.
