Joe treks 132km on 45th birthday to save lives
A group of 10 trekkers who set off from Kampala on Monday, heading to Bushenyi, Western Uganda under the Joe Walker campaign had by Thursday evening covered 132 km out of the targeted 320kms.
The Joe Walker campaign under the theme “Safe Roads, Save Lives”, is aimed at raising awareness about road safety.
Last night, the group led by Mr Joseph Beyanga, the head of radio Nation Media Group Uganda(NMG-U) slept in Masaka City. They resumed the journey today as they trek to Kyazanga Town along Masaka –Mbarara high way in Lwengo District where they plan to spend the night.
Mr Beyanga, the brain behind the campaign says since they started the trek on Monday, they have made four stopovers in the towns of Buwama, Mpigi, Lukaya, and Masaka talking to pedestrians and motorists on how they can safely use the road and reduce road carnage. Read more here.
