FundLife, a leading non-governmental organization established and located in Tacloban, Philippines and dedicated to promoting purposeful play and equitable education for marginalized and vulnerable children, proudly announces the launch of “Move Luzon”.
In partnership with the Bike Scouts project, “Move Luzon” project is an ambitious, community-led running and physical movement initiative aimed at advocating for every child’s right to safe spaces.
The launch of “Move Luzon” will see FundLife Founder, Marko Kasic, attempt to run from the top of Luzon to Metro in Manila, covering 600 km in two weeks, the equivalent of 14 marathons in 14 consecutive days. Throughout the journey, he will engage with running and non-running communities and informal local groups to promote safe spaces, education, and localized development solutions.
“Move Luzon” is more than just a physical challenge; it is also a movement to showcase the beauty and potential of communities in Luzon, along the way, discovering the diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and amazing potential that exists in every single community and child. As the project traverses the length of Luzon, it will not only highlight the country’s scenic wonders but also champion a cause close to the hearts of many: a future where every child has access to safe spaces and equitable opportunity to reach their full potential.
The “Move Luzon” “Run with Purpose” will begin on July 8th in Patapat Viaduct, Pagudpud, and culminate in Metro Manila on July 21st, covering a total moving distance of more than 600 km.
Key Objectives of Move Luzon:
- Advocacy for Safe Spaces: Highlight the need for more inclusive spaces where all children, especially girls, can play, learn, and grow without fear or intimidation.
- Promotion of Equitable Education: Raise awareness about the disparities in educational opportunities and advocate for equal access to quality education for all children.
- Engagement with Communities: Foster a sense of unity and collaboration by engaging both running and non-running communities in support of community-led development.
