What is the idea behind Run for your Mama?
NAALYA, KAMPALA — As Mother’s Day approaches, TMR International Hospital has announced a landmark community event, the TMR Mama Run 2026, scheduled for Saturday, May 9. Under the theme “Run for Your Mama,” the hospital is inviting residents of Naalya, Kiira, and the surrounding areas to a special celebration of motherhood combined with a high-energy wellness drive.
The event is designed not only as a marathon but as a movement to champion maternal health and celebrate the pivotal role mothers play in our communities. Beyond the physical activity, the day will serve as a leadership celebration to honor Hon. Allan Bulamu, the Incoming Mayor of Kiira Municipality.
What is the TMR Mama Run 2026?
The TMR Mama Run is a community-focused wellness initiative organized by TMR International Hospital to raise awareness for women’s health issues. According to the hospital’s Executive Director, Dr. Daniel M. Talemwa, the run aims to provide tangible support for maternal health challenges, including postnatal care and postpartum depression. It is an inclusive event where husbands, children, and friends are encouraged to run in honor of the women in their lives.

Who is Hon. Allan Bulamu, and why is he being honored?
