World
Heavyweight Boxing Champion Anthony Joshua joined the Bobby Moore Fund
and leaders in business and charity around the world to salute the 42nd
Birthday of Igho Charles Sanomi II.
Igho
Sanomi, Founder and Chairman of Taleveras, quietly celebrated his 42nd
birthday on 17th May.
This coincided with the conclusion of the "Touch A
Life Today", GIPLC campaign funded by Sanomi which during a 3-week
period reached over 1000 identified vulnerable Nigerians in Abuja, Delta
and Benue States, who received financial support to cover their medical
bills; and with an exclusive interview with Forbes.
Increasingly
recognised for his philanthropy, Sanomi has also donated substantially
to cancer research through the Bobby Moore Fund in the UK to help fund
prostate and bowel cancer research; a gesture that earned him the Martin
Luther King Legacy Award for Philanthropy and International Service in
2015. Sanomi was also appointed Honorary Chair for the 25th anniversary
of the International Salute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, which took
place in Washington, DC in 2016.
Anthony Joshua, the British Nigerian boxing champion, congratulated Sanomi on his birthday saying:
"Happy
Birthday to a humble Nigerian Brother, always concerned for the less
privileged! Well done for all you have been doing over the years to help
& sponsor Cancer Research UK, The Bobby Moore Fund & the many
medical patients across Nigeria who couldn't pay their medical bills."
Stephanie
Moore, widow of Sir Bobby Moore and founder of the Bobby Moore Fund for
Cancer Research, wrote a personal letter in tribute, she said:
"Thank
you for your generous support of the Bobby Moore Fund...I am confident
that the money raised will make a significant contribution to our
pioneering bowel cancer research programme and I am indebted to you for
the part you are playing in ensuring this will be a huge success.
"I
understand today is also a significant date for you - may I take this
chance to wish you a very Happy Birthday! Thank you again, I value your
support enormously. One day we will beat bowel cancer. With your help,
we can make it sooner."
Birthday
greetings continue to come from around the world from United States
Black Caucuses in Congress, members of UK parliament, prominent young
entertainers globally, business colleagues, employees and people who
have been touched by Sanomi's generosity and philanthropy.
Taking the opportunity to thank everyone for their birthday wishes, Sanomi said:
"Today marks another year in the life of ICS II - God's Soldier forever. Thank you all, for your kind wishes and prayers."
