Bishop Sanctus Lino Wanok of Lira Diocese launched a men's run on Thursday, October 15, 2026, to raise funds for prostate cancer detection equipment. The Catholic Men’s Guild organized the campaign to promote awareness, encourage early screening, and improve access to diagnosis.

The launch took place at the Lira Cathedral Parish Ordination Grounds and included clergy, members of the Women’s Guild, and parishioners from across the diocese. Bishop Wanok led a short run to start the campaign and was presented with the green and yellow running kit for the event. During the launch, the Bishop asked the public and stakeholders to support the effort to acquire medical tools, noting that the disease threatens men's health and family stability.
