Fr. Rudy Run

A fun run named after a priest? Well,
that’s what this one was. From what I read, Father Rudy was an advocate for
building happy, Christian families. He does things like counseling for couples
through his organization, Marriage Encounter Philippines St. Peter Series,
Davao City. Now, on his first death anniversary, the organization decided to
honor him on this fund-raising event via a fun run. This was a worthy cause to
be a part of, and I for one, am happy to help.
Even though for me this was just an
ordinary race day, one particular moment stood out. A former college professor
of mine joined this fun run. Now, Sir Freddie S. was never exactly the type of person you would expect to run, so to see him there was a surprise.
When he finished his 3K run late in the race, there was even a podium
announcement for him. You can’t really help not cheering for him, everybody,
myself included, got into it. He got the loudest applause of the whole morning,
even more than the winners of the race! It made my day knowing that anybody can
be a runner. ^_^
