Runner Feelings

I want to support women and girls on conflict, and want them to be safe.
(UNITED STATES (USA))
I've been a charity runner for five years, and I always try to select a cause that I'm passionate about. CARE International Japan immediately stood out to me for its work to support women and girls in conflict zones. Women and girls face sexual and gender-based violence on top of the violence or natural disaster that has driven them their homes. As someone in a position of privilege, I want to use my money (and my voice) to draw attention to these issues and the noble work of CARE. It would be the honor of a lifetime to run for the CARE team at the Tokyo Marathon. (UNITED STATES (USA))
I love what Ronald McDonald House does for families struggling with ill children. I have a child with autism that requires a lot of therapy and visits to doctors, so I can relate that caring for one family member can take a toll on the entire family. Thankfully we have not had to spends days and days in the hospital, but love knowing that Ronald McDonald House is there to help if it is ever needed. I look forward to donating to this charity to help as many people as possible. (UNITED STATES (USA))
I was born in Nigeria, West Africa, and I was lucky enough to be born into a family able to afford health care and clean water.
I have witnessed a lot of family and friends get very sick due to a lack of clean water. I now live in United States and i donate a lot of money to clean water charities and initiatives. I would be honored to run the Tokyo Marathon and run for such a fantastic charity. (UNITED STATES (USA))
I hope that my modest donation will be able to assist children who have been displaced or lost their families as a result of the earthquake, in receiving an education, with the aim of utilizing their knowledge to help others in the future. (HONG KONG, CHINA (HKG))
I participate in the Tokyo Marathon's charity to combine my passion for sports with making a positive impact on society. Through their Sports Legacy Program, they promote education, facilities, awareness, and societal contributions, aligning with my values of innovation and inclusion. Together, we can create a brighter future for Tokyo and Japan. (SWITZERLAND (SUI))
Two of my daughters were born premature and had to stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for an extended time. We were fortunate enough to have access to a great hospital and be able to stay locally during their care. We met other families that were not in the same position and saw the impact the support from the Ronald McDonald House had on them and their families. I am grateful for the opportunity to help provide that same support through the charity. (UNITED STATES (USA))
Im a recreational and passionate runner. I hope my donation can provide assistance to the program and more people will have the opportunities to participate in sports activities. Sports can enhance our physical and mental health. (HONG KONG, CHINA (HKG))
I am a pediatric nurse practitioner. I have been a nurse for 23 years. I have dedicated my life to taking care of children and their families in their greatest time of need. I have helped many families get set up with Ronald McDonald House in the United States. It is a amazing organization that supports these families, and I would be honored to run and rise money on their behalf. We need organizations like these to continue to support our children and families in need. With out them many times when children are in the hospital for many days, weeks, months there would be no where for these families to stay, as often times the hospital is not near their homes. I am so grateful for all they do! (UNITED STATES (USA))
Human right and education are what every human being deserve for. I live in Thailand and have seen many children, young people as well as women those who lack of social opportunity, and believe this situation also happens in the rest of South Asian countries as well, especially in Bangladesh which is recently facing economic difficulty.
I want to take some part to promote equality for people who lack of opportunity and resource to make their life better. This problem is not easy to get resolved and it will take time, just like running a marathon. I hope I can help create awareness to other people by way of my charity and running. (THAILAND (THA))
I was a kid helped by ADRA. They helped putting food in my table and with scholarship for my studies. (UNITED STATES (USA))
I am inspired by the stories of young athletes who have been supported by the Tokyo Marathon Sports Legacy Program. I believe in the power of sports to develop young people's physical, mental, and emotional health. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their success and help them achieve their dreams. I am also excited to be part of a community of people who are passionate about supporting young people in sports. I am committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive sporting landscape, and I believe that the Sports Legacy Program 1 is doing important work in this area. (UNITED STATES (USA))
My reason to support the Ronald McDonald House is they were there for my brother and his family while their daughter was in the hospital receiving treatment for cancer. This enable them to stay close to their daughter, this helps many families and I believe in and passionate in supporting this charity and being a charity runner. (UNITED STATES (USA))
My first and most important reason for choosing this charity over others is that I know how Ronald Mc Donalds house works. A good friend of mine had first hand experience when his niece needed to be operated on. The Charity helped every step of the way and provided support for the family. I'd love to help others through this amazing Charity. (ARGENTINA (ARG))
