Runner with a Heart - Let's Support Maple Tree Foundation

You see, there are some runners who really run for a cause. I once mentioned before that I will only run those races with the purpose of helping those in need. So goes the Run for Sight, Run for Bebe, Heart's Run and so on and so forth... all of these race I missed. I even missed the race for Cancer Awareness last year... I opted to let my Kumpare Boying run for my mom who passed away due to CA.

But I did ran for a cause! The latest was the Kapamilya Run 2010. And even if I am a certified Kapuso, I joined this race because it was for a cause. 

Speaking of runners with pledges, I can see their motive... their purpose... their commitment... not just for running for also for helping.

Let me highlight a fellow Dailymiler Kassy Pajarillo. I read her blog and was kinda envy that she joined Jaymie Pizarro's TBR Dream Marathon. But I was more focused on her pledge to help the needy. I can see that she a runner with a heart. And I would like to support her cause in whatever way I can. And if I have some resources, it won't harm to pitch in some for her cause....

Here's a repost from her blog: Flexitarian Runaholic Diary




On 5 December 2010, I will be running a FULL MARATHON (42.2 km) in the Standard Chartered Marathon – Singapore in order to raise money for the Maple Tree Foundation. Although it will be a challenge for me to complete my first destination marathon race, I will be especially motivated by the excitement of knowing that it will benefit such a worthy cause.
I am asking friends and family to consider sponsoring me for this event. I have two ambitious goals – first to complete the marathon without sustaining any bodily harm and second to meet my personal goal of raising Php 10,000 – Php 100,000 for the Maple Tree Foundation (100%). I would greatly appreciate your kind consideration by making a donation towards this goal. All other form of donations (sponsorship) is, of course, well appreciated.
Being a runner, I wanted to take the opportunity to help my fellow citizen as this is one of my life goals- to help those who are in need. I believe in Maple Tree Foundation vision which is to help deprived and underserved mountain communities live healthy, productive, and peaceful lives with sustainable resource development programs that provide basic services, livelihood development, and education. For this, they need not to stay as less privilege citizen around Manila believing it will make their lives easier, well in fact, in their home town they can live comfortably and be educated.
You can make a difference . . . please join me in supporting a very important cause. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Kassy

To Kassy,
Good luck in your quest for the Standard Chartered Marathon! Good luck in your cause!
