SunPIOLOgy Run 2015 Event Launch
According to the International Diabetes Federation, the Philippines is an “emerging hot spot” for the disease. It affects more than 4 million Filipinos, not counting the undiagnosed cases. In fact, the country has been ranked in the top 15 where diabetic prevalence is most rampant.
On Its 7th Year the SunPIOLOgy Run slated on November 28 will carry the twin advocacies of health and education to be led by Star Magic celebrities who will physically tackle “DIABETIC” obstacles along the routes Zigzag (Runners must find their way out of the maze), Candy Crawl (Runners must crawl through the obstacle full of candy rocks in order to proceed to the race), Hurdles and Maze.
The Battle against the diabetic bulge goes beyond the finish line, Participants can give more through the Sun Life Foundation’s KICK2GIVE where in runners will be challenged to kick body bags with “diabetes” word marks for additional donations to ISDFI.
Sun Life Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer Riza Mantaring Said “Together with other Sun Life territories, we are concerned about the widespread prevalence of diabetes, especially here In the Philippines. We actually belong to the top 15 countries where diabetes is most rampant.”
Sun Life ambassador and Hebreo Foundation founder Piolo Pascual continues to be at the forefront of this annual event” I’m hoping that this will be the biggest and brightest SunPIOLOgy Run yet. Aside from being able to send more scholars to school, we will also be doing our part in stopping the spread of a debilitating disease such as diabetes. So guys’ lets run together in the name of healthier and diabetes free Philippines”
