Running has the power to bring people together, but Run To Share 2025 went even further — a movement that promoted both personal well-being and a life-saving mission. Gathering more than 600 participants at the Ayala Triangle Grounds in Makati, the event held last April 6, 2025 was dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children battling cancer. Every participant contributed to providing essential blood transfusions, making areal difference with every step.
Run To Share 2025 was organized by the I Want To Share Foundation, a charity organization dedicated to advocating for early childhood cancer detection and treatment. The event marked the launch of the foundation’s year-long awareness campaign, unitingcommunities for a meaningful cause. It successfully generated ₱1M (one million pesos) in donations to support pediatric cancer patients. For a minimal fee, participants chose between the 3K run and the 5K run with allproceeds directed to the pediatric cancer patients in partnership with University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH)’s Pedia Hema-Onco Division. 75% of children battling cancer are diagnosed with leukemia and many of them rely on blood transfusions as part of their treatment. Each registration for Run to Share equaled to one blood bag donation for a child in need.
Celebrities like Alden Richards, Barbie Forteza, Julia Barretto and Kim Chiu joined the throng of runners together with VIPs and IWTS Board of Trustees Milka Romero and JP Mallo, among others, to support the foundation’s pediatric patients. VIPs, kids and furbabies also participated, completing the fun-filled event. Participants also got the chance to win amazing prizes including a Magic Bullet from Nutribullet, Ray-Ban sunglasses from Vision Express, and exclusive treatments from Avignon Clinic and Travertin. “Run To Share is more than just a race. It’s a step toward hope, healing, and solidarity. Every ticket purchased represented a bag of blood needed for transfusions, directly helping children fighting cancer. With our collective efforts, together, we can make a difference,” said I Want To Share Foundation founder Sheila Romero.
