Running is my passion and running marathons in major cities in the world is my dream! I am fortunate to have been accepted in the Tokyo Marathon on March 2026 through their charity entry. This entails raising funds for my chosen charity, which is Action Against Child Exploitation (ACE) [NPO based in Japan | ACE (Action Against Child Exploitation)]. I pledged an amount of $1600.

Completing a marathon, regardless of the time, is a tremendous accomplishment for me and a testament to dedication, training, and mental fortitude. Crossing the finish line gives me an incredible sense of pride and confidence, and inspires me to set and achieve new goals in life!

This is a deeply personal journey which means a lot to me. With that said, I need your support to achieve this monumental goal. A donation of any amount would truly help me reach my goal.

To help me run the Tokyo Marathon, simply click the link to my fundraiser below.

GoFundMe is not supported in the Philippines, so I have my sister, Maria Guevara, assist me in collecting funds for this cause.

If you could also share my fundraiser link with your friends, it would mean so much. The more people hear about my cause, the quicker I can reach my fundraising goal.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

Sincerely,

Hazel Misa
