Doing something for a great cause - #RunForPneumonia
Dear friends & colleagues,
As Childhood Pneumonia is still death cause number 1 for children under the age of 5 years we signed up for a new challenge. A running challenge... In the upcoming months, we are going to prepare for the half marathon of Eindhoven.
According to the World Health Organization, pneumonia claims the life of a child every 20 seconds. The Philips Foundation is campaigning against the #1 killer in the world for children under age 5! Teaming-up with 6 NGOs we are working together to fight this terrible illness (AMREF, ICRC, Red Cross, Save the Children, Unicef, UN Foundation).
To contribute my bit I will put on my running shoes. I am going to raise money with my challenge to run the Eindhoven half marathon on October 13.
While doing this I have a concrete ask to you: I would like to ask you to support this by donating money!
For €21,- they can treat a child with pneumonia in Afghanistan.
For €7,- a family in Ehtiopia can buy a clean stove.
For €4,- they can vaccinate a child against pneumonia.
The great thing is that your donation will be doubled by the Philips Foundation.
