ON your marks, get set, go.

A fun run to help raise funds for under-privileged families in the Philippines will be held this weekend at Alexandra Clark Park.

There will be two different walking tracks for every fitness level.

Even coordinator Eden Del Valle said she had travelled to the Philippines on numerous occassions, and had seen first hand what these families required.

“We are raising money for Joshua Care International which helps raise money for under-privileged children,” she said.

“We give out clothes and medical supplies.”

“There are about 500 to 1000 people we help.”

Mrs Del Valle and her family will be travelling back to the Philippines in a few weeks time to personally help and deliver necessary items to the families.

She said the fun run would be a great day out for the whole family.

“Spring is here and we thought it would be a fun way for everybody to get active and have fun while raising money,” she said.

“We will also be handing out goody bags, which is included in the registration price. They will include a water bottle, t-shirt, discount food vouchers and lollies.”

Mrs Del Valle said this was the first year the fun run had operated and she hoped it would be the first of many.

The fun run starts at 7.30am and finishes at 9.30am, with morning tea provided.

Registration is $20 for adults and $10 for children.
