Support MyRun: G4H 2011

Last year, me and some of our officemates graced the Ayala CBD on the Globe's Run for Home 2010. That race was a culmination of our "first times", where two of our officemates who were just starting to run were forced to ride the 15KM distance as they have been sponsored by our Company's partner-Company (confused? read again, lol!). I in particular, had my first 15k race on last year's Globe run for home, and it was also the first race which used the ChampionChip technology, first race to broadcast a facebook update, and the first event where singlets are made from recycled pet bottles. Aside from that, the Globe's run for home 2010 benefitted the Habitat for Humanity foundation.

This year's issue for Globe run for Home will be another great event, with the same offerings, but with much greater transformation as it will now benefit not just one, but four (4) beneficiaries altogether in a single event. As each participant registers, they get to choose whom they want to get to donate part of their registration fee among the four beneficiaries. Aside from the automatic donation as part of the registration fees, participants, friends, family members, and other people even those non-runner colleagues may also get to donate to any or all of the four beneficiaries through Globe G-Cash.

For the participants, I urge you to also let your family support your own run for this event, by donating to any of the four beneficiaries. Here's how:
