Slightly over 21 years ago, Henry Wanyoike lost his eyesight after a stroke. But then things started looking up for him when he took to the athletic tracks and they have never stopped. He is the current holder of three world records in 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and full-marathon paralympics. He founded The Henry Wanyoike Foundation that helps raise funds (and empower) for vulnerable children and youth. In 45 days, he will be running in another “Seeing is Believing” Standard Chartered Marathon where he is the goodwill ambassador and has run over 15,000 kilometres. In his spare time, he loves to plant trees. “Our existence as human beings depend on trees in many ways.”
He met JACKSON BIKO at Deli, the coffee shop at Sankara Nairobi.
