I started joining fun run a few months ago. It started as a prizes from a contest that I join but liked it so much that I continue running whenever I could. Joining fun run usually entitle you to pay certain fees. I don't mind though for it benefits somebody or something. I just want to share to you one of the fun run that don't just give a certain percentage to its beneficiary. Zonta of Ayala Makati host a fun run for the benefit of Visayan Foundation. As commencing activity for the Commitment Week, the RAT Race will be held on March 13, 2011 at the Mc Kinley Hill in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

In 2009, Zonta Ayala Makati Chapter signed a Memorandum of Agreement along with fourteen other District 5 clubs of Zonta Philippines , who collectively agreed to support the programs and services of the Visayan Forum Foundation, Inc., particularly the War Against Human Trafficking (WAHT) , through various fundraising efforts per club that will contribute to the WAHT Campaign. Aside from adopting 5 scholars under the care of Visayan Forum, Zonta Ayala –Makati, under the stewardship of Ms. Vicki Santos-Abraham agreed to conduct a series of fundraising events that will uplift the lives of human trafficking victims in the Philippines; hence, the birth of the RAT RACE (Run Against Trafficking).
The RAT RACE is a fun run/ fundraiser that will benefit both the Visayan Forum Foundation, Inc., and the educational programs and services of Zonta Club of Makati Ayala.
This year, the Visayan Forum Foundation, is intensifying the War Against Human Trafficking (WAHT), and as a highlight of this campaign, will be holding a “Commitment Week” on March 13th to 18th. This event, supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), will convene a diverse, committed and action-oriented group from the government and business sector, socio-civic groups, academe and non-government organizations. Its objective is to bring together people to make a commitment to combat human trafficking and create positive social change. It aims to institutionalize practical commitments, encourage support from the private sector, and mobilize public-private collaboration.
