Shoes for Poor Filipino Children

Tax deductible
It is said that to really understand someone, you need to walk a mile in their shoes. In the Philippines, over 16 million children are dewormed twice a year to eliminate intestinal worms because they do not own adequate footwear. I intend to walk and/or run thousands of miles in their honor, BAREFOOT.

Although I have already set world records I will keep running barefoot marathons to continue to create awareness for these children. Each barefoot marathon is a distance of 26.2 miles or 42 Kilometers.

Since 2013, I have raised over $30,000 and distributed over 30,000 pairs of brand new shoes, rubber boots and flip flops in the Philippine provinces of Davao, Bulacan and Leyte while setting four Guinness World Records:

(1) "Most Barefoot Marathons Run in One Year with 101"

(2) “Most Barefoot Marathons Run on Consecutive Days with 10”

(3) "Most Barefoot Half-Marathons Run on Consecutive Days with 12", and

(4) "Most Barefoot Half-Marathons Run in One Month with 18"

Please help me raise money to provide these impoverished children with valuable protection from harmful wounds and infectious diseases. Through the Seeds of Dignity Ministry charity program, 100% of your donation will go towards providing a pair of shoes or flip flops to these poor Filipino children.
