Run to Read on August 15, 2010

I had been receiving inspiring comments from you, my dear readers, whenever I blog about my runs. So I decided to blog, this time around, the race event that I would be joining. In that way, I might encourage you to join too - to start a healthy lifestyle. And maybe, we can meet up after the run too.

My next run (after the Takbo.ph Runfest) will be on August 15, 2010 dubbed as Run to Read. I would be running my first 15K then. Wish me luck, and bid me God bless. For details, I would just be reposting Run4Change's article about the run. I hope you don't mind. Here you go.

ABOUT

There is not enough public libraries to serve millions of students, currently there are 688 public libraries of all types and there should be more. The lack of facilities is even compounded by the fact that a significant number of these libraries are under-funded, understaffed, poorly equipped, or in bad physical condition forcing it to stop functioning.

.

There should be a total of 1,851 libraries in all, one for each of the country’s 220 congressional districts, 136 cities, and 1,495 municipalities. To date, the country has 1,163 libraries less than required. This affects 40% of the population or nearly 40 million Filipinos as it unacceptably deprives our children of a resource that could spell a difference for their future.

.

Realizing the need for children to be aptly exposed to reading materials not readily available for them, the Run To Read Fun Run was designed to raise funds to build and restore libraries for less fortunate communities in various parts of the Philippines. The run will be composed of 4 major distance events; 3KM, 5KM, 10KM, 15KM and a 500-meter dash for kids and their moms or dads
