Kenya's First Lady to participate in London Marathon

The 2013 London marathon will not only welcome a star studded field of Kenyan marathoners, but also an unlikely guest, Kenyan first lady her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta. She  will be on the starting line up as she seeks to raise funds set to go into improving mother and child health care facilities in the country.

According to yahoo, the Kenyan First Lady will join other celebrities in the April 13th race to help create awareness on health issues facing Kenyan women and children.

To prepare for the event, Mrs Kenyatta has been training near her residence at State House in Nairobi, with former London marathon winner, Douglas Wakiihuri, taking her through the paces.
