Running for Literacy: Empowering Kids in the Philippines Through Room to Read
Hi everyone,
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be running the Tokyo Marathon this year, not just for the challenge but for a cause that’s close to my heart—supporting Room to Read, a charity that transforms lives through education.
Living in the Philippines for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how access to quality education can be a game-changer, especially for children who face barriers to learning. Room to Read has been making a real impact here, creating opportunities for kids to discover the power of literacy and the doors it can open.
Through this marathon, I hope to raise funds to give more children the chance to learn, dream, and achieve their potential. Every step I take on the streets of Tokyo will be fueled by the belief that education can break the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures.
I’d love for you to join me in this mission. Whether it’s through a donation, sharing this message, or simply cheering me on, your support will make all the difference. Together, we can help shape a world where every child has access to the education they deserve.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me.
Moritz
Why your help matters
We want to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education, with appropriate grade-level texts, a library budding with books, and a safe classroom with teachers helping them resist pressure to drop out for work or marriage. We're creating world change that helps low-income communities break the cycle of poverty by improving literacy rates and getting one step closer to graduation day.
