Ronnie Liang runs for leukemia patients
Singer-actor Ronnie Liang understands the value of running. Not just for personal growth as an active person, but for the people who truly need his support. As Resorts World Manila celebrates 10th anniversary, he has joined other celebrities for “Run With Me,” August 25, SM MOA concert grounds.
Started at 4 in the morning, he was more than willing to dedicate his time and energy.
“Kahit galing akong abroad, I didn’t mind. Kahit pagod pa, okay lang. What’s good about it, is that it allowed me to help by just running. It was super fun and fulfilling.”
Being one of the celebrity leaders for Orange Team during the event with a cause, his team got 3rd place with 900k cash prize to be given to their chosen charity “EPCALM Adult Leukemia Foundation of the Philippines,” the first non-profit organization in the Philippines to provide faith-based, holistic care, and support for both leukemia sufferers and their families, as well as helping raise leukemia awareness and research support.
“I hope we could all run for a cause. Simpleng bagay pero malaking tulong para sa ibang tao. I love helping other people, that becomes part of my life. The sense of having blessings is to share. Hangga’t kaya nating tumulong, tumulong tayo. I’m grateful din that Resorts World Manila got me and asked me to participate,” the soon-to-be-pilot told PSR.
Finished 10km, Ronnie said that an event like this is what the country needs as there are a lot of people who need support.
The singer also explained that their chosen charity finds healthcare options best suited to patients need. It also helps link patients and their families find adequate financial support to assist during their battle with the disease.
“I highly recommend running for a cause as it provides each runner an extra reward, an extra reason, an extra purpose for running. It increases the value you experience when you run and it helps motivate you on those difficult days,” the Viva artist shared.
After running for a cause, the “Ligaya” singer went to “Army Show” (A Tribute To Our Heroes) and got to perform there.
Cheered by audience and fans, he has enjoyed performing in a crowd full of modern day heroes. Other celebrities like Matteo Guidicelli, Julian Trono, Katrina Velarde, and many more were present.
It was all worth it for Ronnie as it filled his cup as a person and as an artist. Serving people through his gift is what motivates him to do better. Though busy with his career, he always makes sure that there is time to serve. That’s what makes him so blessed—doing the things he loves with care and dedication.
“I salute all our heroes. We are here as one because of them. And to our modern day heroes who continue to offer their lives to Filipinos, who continue to fight, who continue to protect the country, who continue to show love, I admire them all. And I hope, we all find the “hero” in us,” he ended.
