PINAY IN ACTION ALL WOMEN'S RUN AT THE FORT:

Calling All Females!!!

.................

In celebration of Women's Month, the Compañero Rene Cayetano Foundation, Inc. is going to launch a program in March called Pinay In Action.

Through the years, women's health has not been given much importance. As a result, illnesses primarily affecting women, such as breast and cervical cancer, have been on the rise. This problem is mainly due to the lack of information and awareness on the importance of prevention and early detection of these diseases. As such, the United Nations included improvement of maternal health as one of the Eight Millennium Development Goals, which the Philippines has likewise adopted.

Aware of the rising problem, Pinay In Action, which is a health and fitness program focused on women, seeks to bring to the public's attention diseases which primarily affect women and emphasize the need to prevent these diseases by leading a healthy lifestyle. In line with this, we are conducting several running, biking, and general fitness clinics for women, which will culminate in a run/walk event. The program also aims to train potential runners and bikers, and fitness enthusiasts to become trainers.

The culminating 5km & 10km run/walk event will be on March 19, 2006 , which will start at six o'clock in the morning at The Fort in Taguig. At the same time, we will be holding a Women's Expo that will showcase different women's groups. Registration fee is only P150.00 per participant.

We look forward to your participation in this worthy cause. For more details, you can call telephone numbers 552-6683 / 552-9003 / 552-6684 and cell number 0927-4045187. Victoria 'Vib' Marabut ( Media / Special Events Coordinator)
