Giving Back...

I've been thinking long and hard on how Fifth Ray is able to give back this year. An idea was then posed to me by two friends and I thought it was a fantastic concept. The concept allowed Fifth Ray to give back and help runners achieve their goals at the same time.

This year, Fifth Ray will be donating 30% of the programme fees of every runner who joins to train with us for the standard chartered marathon on 5th Dec 2010.

Finding a reason to run or race? We are providing a motivation to all runners (novices and the most experienced) a greater purpose to be training and running. While achieving your own dreams and goals, you will also be training and running for charity at the same time. Isn't it wonderful?

The donations will be given to Life Anew! It is a new non-government funded organisation that supports and provides assistance to the families and children of inmates who are serving prison time for their crimes. Our main focus will be on the children support and assistance programme. This is because children are usually the innocent parties in these circumstances and should not be made to 'pay' for the mistakes of their care-givers. They should be allowed and given the opportunities to live to fulfill their potentials even when the main care-giver of their family is no longer able to provide for them. Details on the organisation will be posted on www.fifthray.com soon.

Do forward this formation to all who are looking for a greater purpose to train and run. Thank you very much =o)
