The ‘Bring Zack Back Home’ initiative has received another boost as Social Media guru Jackie Marura came up with a brilliant concept to support efforts for the construction of Kenya’s very first Spinal Injury Cord Rehabilitation center.
Jackie got the chance to talk to Zack last week and eventually got to meet him. The campaign struck a cord with her primarily because her father was involved in an accident about 10 years ago which resulted in a spinal injury and broken neck. Fortunately he was flown out for treatment though and he is fine today.
“Unfortunately, a majority of Kenyans don’t have the luxury of medical insurance to cover that kind of (expensive) treatment,” Jackie told Ghafla! yesterday.
The ‘Bring Zack Back Home’ Campaign, an initiative of the Kenya Paraplegic Association, aims at constructing a Kshs. 250 million spinal cord injury rehabilitation center right here in Nairobi and is calling on all Kenyans to contribute what they can to realizing this vision.
Jackie approached Mercury and they agreed to host the event ‘Bring Zack Back Night’. The group also got Smironoff to contribute Vodka so that all proceeds from the shots will go to the campaign. Mercury will also do virtual shots worth Kshs. 200 each, like they did for the Kenyans for Kenya Campaign which was a huge success.
Great DJs like DJ D-lite, Jack Rooster and DJ Protege have also agreed to spin for free on the night.
Safaricom is supporting the event in that the invite is out to all its staff with the PR department also helping out and CEO Bob Collymore will also be at the event as well.
In the meantime Zack is travelling on his way to South Africa because that’s where the nearest spinal cord injury rehabilitation centre is located.
‘Bring Zack Back Night’ will be this Friday night and the lounge will be offering virtual shots at only Kshs.200, of which all proceeds will go towards the ‘Bring Zack Back Home’ initiative. Be a part of the change, go to either Mercury ABC or the Junction.
