Aside from protecting the Whale Sharks, Runners for Others has teamed up with the Condura Run and will also be making many children SMILE! Ton is also a member of Runners for Others together with Jay, Anton, Nina, Butch, Cris, Kit Kat and many others who also RUN FOR A GOOD CAUSE! I am so proud of all of them! According to Butch Jimenez, 21 children have gotten clef surgery from the efforts…. and the race has not even started yet.
From Butch Jimenez
The objective is to try and raise the spirit of helping others not just among R4O members but among all the runners that plan to participate in the Condura Run.
To this end, our plan is quite simple:
We will encourage those that register for the Condura Run to give a donation of Php 100, that can help a child with cleft deformity smile again. Aside from being able to help, the runner will be given a special edition running bib that says “ I am running to make a child smile”.
We plan to print about 2,500 bibs to be distributed among the various registration points of the Condura Run which will be set up inside Nike shops in Metro Manila.
Hopefully, we envision thousands of runners wearing the racing bibs indicating they don’t just run, they run for others.
