Running for a cause

Running has always been an excellent form of exercise with many benefits both physical and mental or emotional level. When we talk about physical impact, running is proven to improve cardiovascular stamina ( a.keeps blood vessels elastics & b. contributes to the lowering of blood pressure w/c helps prevent risk of heart attacks & strokes) and also a great way to lose weight.

It has been found that being active in general, particularly running, has a positive impact on people's emotional state, keeping them active & possibly reducing depression. Running is a good way to get your mind off the day's problems. When we run, our body produces endorphins, create a natural high, leading to feeling of happiness & well being. It also improves sense of confidence and further lowering stress.

Therefore, there are many reasons why people engage in running. May it be to maintain a sound body and mind (as a form of exercise) or with a cause to reach out and extend some help to someone in need.

We, at Cartridge World Islands Philippines, Inc., is contributing not only few hours to run a mile for we understand the benefits we'll gain from it, but, we are running for a greater cause...supporting the Pilipino Star Ngayon's Fun Run, with a project called "ADOPT-A-SCHOOL".
