Here’s an invitation from Miss Earth Foundation’s Executive Director, Cathy Untalan.

Hi friends. Miss Earth Foundation partnered with the National Nutrition Council in its healthy lifestyle campaign. Winners of the Miss Philippines-Earth 2009 go to different schools every week to promote the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle.

We hope that you will join another project which is this Run for a Cause which is an application of what our beauties for a cause have been advocating for.

NATIONAL NUTRITION COUNCIL, in line its campaign of promoting healthy living and active lifestyle is proud to announce a race not only for runners but for individuals who are willing to take the extra mile to make a difference in other peoples’ lives.

On October 3, 2009, Saturday, at The Fort, Taguig City, different organizations, running enthusiasts, mountaineering clubs, volunteers and hundreds of individuals will gather for a purpose in order to fulfill this mission. CHILD Haus or the “Center for Health Improvement and Life Development” (CHILD) Foundation” is the chosen beneficiary.

CHILD Haus is a temporary shelter for indigent patients from the different provinces who have cancer or other dreaded diseases and have no place to stay in Metro Manila while undergoing medical evaluation or treatment. It provides free room and board to its residents. The CHILD Haus is run along the principles of hospice care and promotes the concept of holistic care healing through its various programs, services and activities. The group continues to render their services for so many years by supporting numerous patients under their custody. They are usually children stricken with cancer due to negligence of their parents while they were being conceived causing system dysfunction and deformities.

The Foundation relies on donations of people to keep their operations running and this is why we doing this. We would like to extend this opportunity to you to help. By participating in the run, you are helping us further this campaign by making a statement on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle not only for ourselves but also for our children. We will donate 10 centavos for every individual who shows up and runs on October 3 (aside from the percentage from the registration) as an act of giving for the CHILD Haus. We shall also pass the hat and at the end of the program, together, we will give to them, the total amount that comes from our hearts. Winners from the Miss Philippines-Earth 2009 pageant are also one with us in sending this important message across who will be present to run for this worthy cause.
