When You 'Run For Maldives 2020' You are Giving Back to the Community!
Run for Maldives is a once-in-a-lifetime worldwide event that is due to be held on 27th September 2020, which is also the World Tourism Day. You may ask “Its pandemic times… Who will ever go out on the streets to run for the event?” Hold your horses! Who said you needed to be out on the streets to run?
This is a virtual running event, which is no different to the normal running except that this time, its New Normal style! The entered run can be completed at any location, at any pace, indoors on a treadmill or outdoors and also in any country! All you have to do is sign up, run and provide evidence that you have completed it and that's it!
People from all around the world can register for their choice of challenges from 4 categories; City Link, Addu Link, Laamu Link and Raajje Link and run anywhere they want.
When you run in this event, you are giving back to the community and supporting frontline workers and vulnerable populations deeply affected by Covid-19. Run for Maldives has partnered with Maldives Thalassemia Society (MTS) and Maldives Red Crescent Society. (MRCs) A percentage from all revenue generated from registration fees will be donated to support these important causes.
By running in this event, you raise funds that would support all thalassemia patients to get access to proper treatment as well as those in need of bone marrow transplants and also enable the procurement of crucial yet expensive medical items such as Thalaset needles that are not available in the mainstream health facility.
The funds raised from this event will also be used to support the operations of the psycho-social support hotline established to support people of every age group, mentally affected by Covid-19 and to secure food, sanitary and cleaning products, for migrant workers in the Maldives, whose families as well as themselves are affected by Covid-19 due to pay-cuts and loss of employment.
