“The activity, which is part of the two-day Bayanihan Festival, seeks to raise funds for the survivors of war and calamity in Visayas and Mindanao. 100% of the net proceeds will go to the construction of their houses,” GK Area Coordinator for Central Luzon Jon Ramos said.
GK Central Luzon shall likewise bring volunteers from all over the region to build the sponsored houses during the 2014 Bayani Challenge- a yearly gathering of volunteers who give the best of themselves and work together to build homes, repair schools, conduct health missions, plant trees, and many more.
The Run-For-A-Cause consists of varying distances at 1, 3, 5, and 10 kilometers with registration fee pegged at P100 (12 years old and below) and P200 (adult), P150 (student) and P200 (non-student), P300 (student) and P400 (non-student), and P400 (student) and P500 (non-student) respectively.
“2013 was a year that brought out the heroism of ordinary Filipinos, answering to the needs of our kababayans who were victims of the Zamboanga siege, Bohol earthquake and Super Typhoon Yolanda. The people of Region 3 can once again help them, this time, in their road to recovery and rehabilitation,” Ramos added.
