Run for Sofia Ysabel 3K/5K
McKinley Hill, Taguig City
Read little Sofia's story here:
Three months ago, Sofia Ysabel Rosal was born with Down’s Syndrome and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a congenital heart disease. Currently she is undergoing dialysis to address kidney failure apart from the other tests and procedures that are regularly administered to keep her condition stable. But through all these, Sophia remains strong and steadfast in her will to live a full life with her family. She is truly an inspiration and a shining example of how we should face a life filled with seemingly insurmountable adversities.
Sofia's determination to live has inspired friends and family to put together a fund raising activity to support her since the cost of her treatment has reached alarming heights. “One Thousand Runners for One Heart: A Run for Sofia Ysabel”, is a 3k and 5k fun run happening on August 27,2011 (6:00am) at the Piazza at Venice , McKinley Hill, Taguig City.
Registration is now open at R.O.X Bonifacio High Street. Registration for both 3k and 5k is Php 500 with the fee donated entirely to Sofia. Due to this, registered runners will only be given a race bib, no singletas well as timing chip. Professional runners, leisure runners, and first- time runners are all welcome to run, not to beat previous records but to be one of a thousand runners running or walking for Sofia , the little girl with a big brave heart.
