Natalie Dau’s 1,000 KM Run Culminates at BGC on May 2
Elite endurance athlete and women’s empowerment advocate Natalie Dau is close to making history with Project 1000. This 1,000-kilometer run, which began on April 21, will end on May 2 at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig.
Natalie Dau Runs for Change & Charity
Dau, known for breaking records and supporting charitable causes, is running the equivalent of two marathons each day for 12 days. She aims to raise funds and awareness for important causes, including BGC’s Bayani Scholars program.
The final stretch of Project 1000: Philippines will see Dau arriving at Jollibee 1000, located at 39th Street corner Triangle Drive, BGC. Everyone is invited to witness this milestone and join in celebrating the communities and futures supported by the run.
Project 1000 is more than a test of strength. It is a mission to make a difference. Proceeds from the run will support several beneficiaries:
- Bayani Scholars Program – Led by Fort Bonifacio Development Foundation, this program provides education and job opportunities to underprivileged students in Taguig.
- Tay-ac Elementary School – Located in Ilocos Sur, helping improve learning for local students.
- Alon & Araw Club and Sisters of Mary – Both based in Zambales, these organizations assist the underprivileged and promote community development.
Dau is no stranger to pushing limits. Last year, she completed a solo 1,000-km run from Thailand to Singapore in 12 days, setting several records, including a Guinness World Record.
Along her Luzon route, from Sta. Ana in Cagayan to BGC, Dau continues to inspire many to join and support.
