The Shire Run Carnival is proud to have partnered with Love Mercy Foundation. Co-founded by local Olympic runner, Eloise Wellings, Love Mercy's mission is to empower communities in Northern Uganda to overcome poverty caused by the horrors of war. By purchasing some event merchandise and/or by entering the 6km event, you are supporting Love Mercy's efforts with a range of projects which increase access to food security, health care, clean water and income generation for families after decades of civil war.
