CP, or cerebral palsy, happens when the brain can’t coordinate properly with the muscles which in turn affects a person’s movement, balance, and posture. Regarded as the most common motor disability in kids worldwide, it affects 1 to almost 4 children out of 1000. Those with cerebral palsy experience a variety of conditions ranging from stiff muscles, poor motor control, to loss of balance. There is no cure for CP currently, but with treatment, people who have it can lead better lives.
This June 11, MNL City Run will hold Freedom Run 2023: An Independence Day race for the benefit of Cerebral Palsy Super Warriors Philippines.
The Cerebral Palsy Super Warriors Philippines (CPSWP) is one of the duly-registered non-government organizations supporting people with CP and their families. Since 2017, they’ve been holding meaningful activities for CP-affected individuals, organizing fund-raising events, and bridging donors to those in dire need of help — whether it’s financial support or otherwise.
For our newest running event, we’re choosing the CPSWP as our beneficiary. Freedom Run 2023, which comes ahead of Philippine Independence Day, is a call for runners to help children with cerebral palsy lead more fulfilling and independent lives.
In cooperation with The City of Muntinlupa
Event date: June 11, 2023 (Sunday)
Venue: Pacific Rim Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City
Exciting prizes await the top 3 finishers
