21 Races. 21.1km each. Countless lives. 🩺🏃🏾‍♂️❤️

In the months leading up to her 21st birthday, 3rd year medical student asekho mbokodo took on an extraordinary challenge: running 21 × 21.1km races to raise funds to buy stethoscopes for 3rd & 4th year medical students who couldn’t afford this essential clinical tool.

The idea was simple,turn every kilometre into an opportunity to give.

Because every heartbeat tells a story, and every stethoscope gives a future healthcare professional the chance to listen, diagnose and care - one heartbeat at a time. 🫀🩺

This is the story behind 21 Races, 21km, Countless Lives - a student-led initiative built on one simple belief: “it is better to give than to receive.”
