What better way is there than to spend a Saturday morning with family and friends supporting a good cause, while exercising at one of the largest community events in Shanghai? On Saturday May 12, the annual More Than Aware Family Fun Run will be held in Century Park.
Since the inaugural event in 2013, the More Than Aware Family Fun Run (2km or 5km) continues to gain momentum as each year passes. In 2018, the organizers are expecting over 3,000 participants, dressed up in pink and green, to provide a colorful display of how much the Shanghai community can get behind a good cause.
At the helm of More Than Aware is an impressive group of volunteers who deliver this and many other events throughout the year. Aimed at supporting women in the prevention and recovery of breast cancer, they strive to empower us all to maintain a healthy lifestyle while raising funds for those in need. Having attended a previous More Than Aware luncheon, I can honestly say that being in a room with more than 700 women; fighting, thriving and supporting, was extremely powerful and a reminder that we can all make a difference by showing up.
With a tagline of ‘What’s your Green,’ every participant will receive an event t-shirt and be encouraged to write their personal wellness goal for the year. So, start thinking about what you want to achieve in 2018, then go for the run and stay for the music, kids' activities and awards.
Registration closes when all allocated spaces are filled. So, if you miss out on the Fun Run don't worry, there are other ways you can show your support. The More Than Aware volunteers have a waiting list of Chinese women in recovery, who are wanting to join the event and feel the encouragement from everyone around them on the day. You can sponsor them, celebrate their courage and give them strength to keep on thriving. So, take the opportunity now and get behind the real woman of the More Than Aware Fun Run.
