Our Inspiration

The inspiration for the Entoto Foundation comes from the case of a young Ethiopian, Matthewos Kebede. As a young boy, Matthewos suffered an illness that left his heart severely damaged.

Mike Long

Entoto Co-Founder Mike Long passed away in San Diego in July, 2007.

More than a sport, running has always represented community, a sense that everyone who laced up their shoes and made the attempt was connected through the effort. No matter what differences may divide us, be they age, race, religion, or nationality, running transcended all those differences, linking all who suffered and celebrated into a shared communion.  Mike Long represented that cohesion in its most endearing form. He was the best we had. We miss him beyond measure.
