Run for COVID-19
Tax deductible
Thanks for coming along with us on this run!! We are so thankful for your participation as your support means so much to the both of us!
As mentioned earlier, the reason why we're doing this is because Sunny got inspired by reading New York Times about a man running to raise funds for COVID-19. So we decided to commit to the idea and here we are.
What:
We're going to run everyday for 14 days from June 1st-15th and you would pledge a certain amount for every kilometre we run.
Remember, you will be donating to the combined kilometer distance that Rissa + Sunny are running, so feel free to adjust your donation amount. It could honestly be $0.20 or $0.50 or $1 or more if you’re willing. We appreciate anything. (Just beware that Sunny can get some serious mileage, Rissa is less of a threat lol)
If you would like to cap your donation to a certain amount, that would be totally okay as well; just let us know.
Donation Method:
Since each person’s donation amount will be different, and is ultimately dependent on the final number of kilometers, the donations will be received through GofundMe at the end of the run. More details will be provided at a later date :-)
Charity of Choice:
We’ve decided to donate to Heartland Alliance because it is
Local to Chicago
Has specific options for how donations are allocated, including providing stock supplies to frontline workers, helping with grocery deliveries for those who can’t leave their homes, and providing rental assistance for families with lost income due to the virus.

Newsletter:
Every Wednesday and Saturday, we will send newsletter updates. This will include spicy running photos and screenshots of all completed runs so there is transparency on our kilometerage.
At the end of the 2 weeks, we will send a final newsletter on the total distance we’ve run and the link to the GoFundMe page to make your donation. Remember, donation currency will be in USD.
Let us know if you have any questions!
We're excited to do this! (Rissa is dreading it more than Sunny)
