For the last 7 years our annual charity run has allowed families in Zurich to come together to help raise funds for children in need, while having fun and exercising. This year, due to the Covid-19 health crisis we had to cancel our traditional event but our commitment to our designated charity, DREAM by Community Sant’Egidio, is undeterred as fighting the HIV spread and providing local communities in Mozambique with health-care support is as important as ever.
So let’s keep the “kids helping kids” spirit alive, this year from the safety of our own homes!
How will run4change Online work?
- On May 1st we will hold a livestream event from 10.30am to 11am CET. During this time, we will virtually come together to encourage each other to achieve our goals. We will also have some surprise entertainment for children.
- To receive the link to the livestream event, please register you and/or your child as a participant on our website run4change.ch. We will be sending you login details (password protected) the morning of the event, for extra security.
- As in the past, please look for sponsors to support your efforts during the event. We will be proposing simple exercises we can all do – children and adults – and most importantly, count: 60 seconds each of jumping jacks, sit-ups and squats. The more repetitions you do, the more money you raise!
- After the event, you will collect the money from the sponsors and send it to us via a bank transfer, Paypal or credit card payment. This will be done through our own secured webpage run4change.ch
- If you cannot attend the livestream event but would still like to participate, you can do so during the whole month of May – you will be able to make the donations through our website and if you want to, share your videos by posting them on our Facebook event page.
We count on everyone to make this a very special year for run4change raising the much needed funds for our charity and strengthening our community spirit. Register to participate and spread the word by joining our event page on Facebook or sharing this newsletter with your friends and family, wherever they are in the world as they can participate, too!
We look forward to seeing you on May 1st !
The run4change Team
