Run for a Cause! Children without Borders (KnK)

Hi friends! I am raising funds for Kokkyo Naki Kodomotachi (KnK) - Children without Borders.

KnK supports disadvantaged children and youth in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Bangladesh, just to name a few countries.

These include street children, victims of trafficking, children living in extreme poverty, and children affected by natural disasters.

KnK's work is important to me. I grew up in the Philippines and saw the hard lives of street children. KnK does not shy away from the most impoverished locations in the Philippines, including Payatas and Bagong Silang. A quick Google search of these places and one will understand how important KnK is to the children and youth living there.

Please consider making a difference in these children's lives by donating. Any amount is always appreciated!

I am honored to run for KnK in the 2026 Tokyo Marathon.

Examples on how donations are used

$20 - school uniform for 2 children in the Philippines

$68 - Meals for one month to one child where KnK works

$339 - 50 children can go to school for one month where KnK works.
