Olympic champion Daniel Igali is hoping the campus community will join him on Saturday, Oct. 17 in an event to raise funds and awareness for his school project in Nigeria (see www.igali.com to sign up). The SFU criminology graduate student, together with Right to Play, will host the first annual Igali Run for the Kids at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park, located at King George Highway and 88th Avenue, from 8:30–noon. A 5k walk/run kicks off at 10 am. Igali opened Maureen Matheny Academy in his home village of Eniwari in 2006 after raising nearly $600,000 and overseeing its construction.

Canadian gold medalists Daniel Igali, Simon Whitfield and Carol Huyhn will join forces on October 17, 2009 to kick off the first annual Igali Foundation Walk/Run 4 Children event, which organizers hope will raise awareness for the new academy Igali’s foundation built last year in Nigeria.

Igali, a Simon Fraser University graduate student and featured athlete in the online Canadian Olympic school campaign, hopes the walk will inspire others to help provide the basic necessities the Maureen Matheny Academy desperately needs.
