The OLE Run

Roadshows, exhibitions, school talks, thumbprint pledges and now... OLE Run is here!

We've been thinking about how young people like you and I can play a more active role in showing support for people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. During our roadshows, we were touched when students came up and asked how else they could contribute apart from signing up as volunteers or pledging towards the cause. I'd say, it all start small, and it's gotta start somewhere.

The campaign so far has been in full force of raising awareness of such a situation, that discrimination and stigma against these people is indeed happening as I type this, no matter we like it or not. And the very least thing that we can do is to change our mindset.

On 30 November 2007, we will be having the OLE Run.

A total of 357 rounds of running will be accumulated by all participating runners. 357 more people infected by AIDS last year in Singapore, 357 more people who need our support. The run will be leading up to the launch of the OLE exhibition and what better way is there to show the burning passion (especially after running under the sun ;p) for the cause?

Each member in the team will be covering approximately 1.1km to 3.3km. If you have any queries or want to support the cause, sign up with other two of your friends to form a team of 3 and email your full name, email and contact details to youth_ole@worldvision.org.sg now!

We look forward to seeing you guys!
