I've been running for the past 25 years. I consider myself an ultramarathoner having run across the Philippine Islands,1983;the USA from New York to Los Angeles City,1985;Europe from Barcelona,Spain to Rome,Italy,1992. I can say I've lived life.I'm ready to go or die anytime. I've just turned 51 and lately I've been asking myself what significant thing can I really do. 2 weeks ago I joined a 12-hour run in memory of Gabriel,a fund-raising project for many sick and disabled children in the Philippines, my home. During the run I felt Gabriel presence for a long time and sort of left a burning message in my heart. It dawn on me that I must run for a cause to bind Filipinos and raise awareness for greater unity and solidarity. The message is specially intended for the country's leaders who neglect the Filipino people to provide better future due to their culture of corruption. I'm firming up my plans to run 12 hours a day for as long as it takes. I'm set to die for this cause. Any advise?
