<div>It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of Eliud Kipsang's passing. On Friday, June 6th, 2025, Eliud suffered cardiac arrest and was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, WA, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite the tireless efforts of doctors and nurses, he tragically passed away on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025. His sudden departure has left his family, friends, and teammates devastated.
</div>
<div>Eliud was a champion in the 1500m track and field event, demonstrating extraordinary talent and dedication throughout his career. His success as an NCAA national champion solidified his place among the best middle-distance runners. He proudly represented the University of Alabama, competing at the highest collegiate level.
</div>
<div>Beyond his time in university athletics, Eliud pursued his dream professionally, signing with Adidas Pro, where he aimed to continue his legacy of excellence.
</div>
<div>The family has organized a team in Seattle Washington, led by Titus Kiprono who was a close friend to Eliud and his family, with the help of Eliud's uncle Barnabas Kosgei, and  are appealing for both emotional and financial support to help with the repatriation process, so his family can lay him to rest with love and dignity. The costs of transportation, funeral arrangements, and legal procedures are overwhelming, and we need your help.
</div>
<div>Any donation-big or small-will go directly toward bringing Eliud home and easing the financial burden on his grieving family. If you are unable to contribute financially, we kindly ask for your emotional support through messages of encouragement, prayers, and by sharing this fundraiser.
</div>
<div>Let's come together to honor Eliud's incredible journey and legacy.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
</div>
