Fourth Mommy Milkshake Marathon

Breastfeeding is one of the most rewarding experiences for a mother – not only does it ensure the proper nutrition for babies, it also serves as an emotional “bonding” moment for the mother and her child, forging a connection between them.

With all sorts of different “runs for a cause” popping up, Mommy Mundo decided to kick off the breastfeeding month of August with the Fourth Mommy Milkshake Marathon last Aug. 8 at the Bonifacio Global City. The day-long event had two different divisions, the 3K and the 5K run, and served as a “fun and relaxed run with [your] family and kids.”

The marathon encouraged the support and promotion of breastfeeding in the country as an activity that promotes health and beauty for the mother and child, an affordable and accessible, not to mention environmentally friendly, way of feeding babies.

The Fourth Mommy Milkshake Marathon was presented by Mommy Mundo, the Philippine Association of Childbirth Education (PACE), and GlaxoSmithKline, supported by Mommy Matters, Havaianas, RCBC Savings Bank, Richwell Corporation, Big & Small Co., and Bonifacio Global City. Media partners were the Lifestyle Network, MomsToday, Urban Mom Magazine, and Mommy Pages.

“Isang Araw Lang Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo” makes “record-for-a-cause” in the Philippine Sports History

From 3:00 in the morning until 10:00 of near noon, an number of almost 50,000 runners participated in the mixed marathon project “Isang Araw Lang Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo” held at SM Mall of Asia Pasay City last January 31, 2009. This was a history-made for having the largest number of participants who joined a sports event, this time, with a cause, in the Philippine Sports History.

The marathon included 300 meter-run for kiddie run division, and one (1), five (5), ten (10) and 21 kilometers for family, fun, discovery, challenge run, and half marathon divisions respectively.

Veteran Broadcast Journalist and event’s lead advocator “Kuya” Daniel Razon ran together with all the delegates and the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA), Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) headed by General Dionisio Santiago, various Rotary Club chapters, and the “Ang Dating Daan” group headed by Brother Eli Soriano.

Mr. Razon said that he was inspired by Bro. Soriano’s message before about students’ education. “Students may study now and pay nothing in return.” He said that the marathon contributed a great help to pursue the support to students who were granted scholarships, and to continue the project’s response to its supported schools’ needs.

One of the schools that this project is supporting is the La Verdad Christian College. The project grants students free college education, free uniforms, books, school supplies, and even food and lodging allowances.

Winners of the event were the renowned Kenyan runner Mr Williy Tanui for men’s division and Ms. Miscelle Gilbuena, the 2009 Philippine International Marathon winner, for womens division both from the 21-kilometer half marathon.

The “Isang Araw Lang Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo” was sponsored by Sports Basic, Happy Penguin , Sabras, Red Cross, SM Mall of Asia with the media partners UNTV, Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI), iFM, AF, and Manila Bulletin.
