The 10th edition of Run for Their Lives (RFTL) was successfully held at the Viharamahadevi Amphitheatre on the 25th of February with over 4000 participants! RFTL is a 5-km charity run, in aid of Apeksha Cancer Institute in Maharagama is organised by the Rotaract Club of Colombo Uptown.
This beautiful and meaningful endeavour has evolved from its humble beginnings to become the club’s signature project. Over the last 9 years RFTL has become the largest annual charity run that attracts over 4500 like-minded individuals each year and raising over 30 million rupees. Each year the organizers strive to identify the expanding needs of the Apeksha Cancer Institute in Maharagama in order to provide donations which are most in need. Each year the donation differs based on the pressing requirements of the hospital. The lives impacted by the funds raised are a testament to the need it fulfills.
The organizers had impeccably planed every detail from logistics to public relations to décor on the day of the run. Registered participants received a free RBN branded T-shirt along with access to the carnival and concert after the run. The event featured a variety of food and beverage stalls, games, photo booth and fun filled activities.
RFTL is proof that the smallest act of caring shouldn't be underestimated. Each and every one of us has the potential to turn a life around. Small acts of kindness multiplied by thousands have transformed many lives. After all, no one fights alone!
