The run will start at 6 a.m. There will also be a 1K walk around the Cebu Business Park. �We hope to increase awareness among the public on the early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. We also believe that running is one of the best forms of promoting a healthy lifestyle,� said Fun Run chairman Dr. Peter Mancao. �We also would like to encourage the participants and their family to attend the Lay Forum on Breast Cancer awareness during the post race program,� he added. The run is jointly organized by the Philippine College of Surgeons Cebu - Eastern Visayas Chapter, Ayala Center Cebu Mall, I Can Serve Group and the Rotary Club of Cebu Fuente.
Running wild at the zoo
The Zoo Run Run is a fundraiser for the free zoo in Madison. It's the 4th annual event. There was a 5K & 10K run and also a 5K walk on Sunday morning. We caught up with some of the younger participants after they crossed the finish line. "We like to run a lot and the fact that it is around the zoo, I think that's pretty cool," says Eva Gonzalez. "Some the hills were challenging for me," adds Kate Vanderhoef. "But, the (drinking) water made it better." No word on how much money was raised. .
are we the children of a lesser god?
On the other hand, take a stroll in a lower-end mall and you'll likely trip over little children running amok all over the place. No carriage, unless the baby is really a baby _ and definitely no nanny. Indeed, social division always makes for an interesting observation. Also worth noting is that in London, I've seen parents walk around with their children on a leash. That's right, a leash. Like a dog. Pretty creative, though somehow it feels a bit wrong, don't you think? About a week ago, to celebrate children's day, Bangkok Post's television news talk show Postscript had an interview with a 21-year-old student representative from Chulalongkorn University. He was a very bright young man, thoughtful and well spoken. Viewers also sent in comments to say as much.
