UNICEF Philippines has partnered with RUNRIO Events to bring Filipinos together for a virtual move-a-thon for a cause — Heroes for Children.
Kicked off on Oct. 1, the activity will go on until Oct. 31, with the hope of raising funds to support vulnerable Filipino children especially during this time of the pandemic.
First launched in 2015 by UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Anne Curtis, the Heroes for Children campaign has been made to adapt because of the prevailing current conditions, taking the form of a virtual move-a-thon this time around, where anyone can bike, run, walk, dance, or exercise at their own pace and at the same help children in need.
The move-a-thon is open to all individuals, friends, families, persons with disabilities, and even fur babies both here and abroad. It is designed for participants of every fitness level to take part in the activity for a cause done in the safety of their own homes and communities.
Participants can choose a category and activity, and complete their distance goals within the whole duration of the virtual move-a-thon.
Registration is ongoing at the Race Roster website or visit bit.ly/UNICEFHeroes2021. Particulars can also be found on said sites.
This year’s iteration of the Heroes for Children campaign is being held in commemoration of UNICEF’s 75th anniversary.
