TAKBO TAYO!

I used to jog at The Fort with my friends from the Legion of Mary. Those were Sunday mornings. We would wake up at 5 am and text or call others to meet at the Staff House. From the area near Market!Market! we jog (well, mostly walk) to the area near where Jollibee and Chowking now stand. We join strangers in the aerobic workout conducted by a health group. There is a fee of 20Php but many times we get away without paying for it (We stay a block from the exercise area and imitate the steps =), evil).

I dreamt of joining fun run events especially if they are aimed to benefit foundations or charities. The last attempt I made was in late 2008 when the La Salle Brothers organized a Fun Run to benefit the ONE LA SALLE scholarship fund. I was supposed to join my students from the SACB in the event but sadly I wasn't able to go.

Now, I'm grabbing this chance to realize my dream. On August 15 at 8pm, I will join my friend Mavic along with husband and fiance in the Kenny's Open Urbanite Run at the Fort.Organized by Finishline, the event aims to raise funds for Hands On Manila and the 57-75 Movement.

Join us in this worthy endeavor. Click here for registration details.
