Good Deed Weekend: Run Or Walk For Charity & Help Make A Difference

Marriott group of hotels organises an annual 5km charity run in every city that they have a hotel in. The idea of the initiative is to support a local charity. This year (September 23) will see the 'Run To Give' being hosted in Goa and you can be a part of this global event.

The best part? All the proceeds collected from this run will go to the 'Rising Star Outreach of India' that works on eradicating leprosy and leprosy related discrimination, suffering and disability in India. Even if you are not a runner, a morning walk will be exhilarating too (especially when you know you're supporting a worthwhile cause).

They have a boat on the jetty that will serve breakfast and a warm-up session will follow from 06.30am onwards. So, get running, we say.

The meeting point is the jetty on the Panjim side of Mandovi river, under the Mandovi bridge. 

Each runner has to pay INR 500 and this will include good vibes and a t-shirt and brekkie for every participant. 

They recommend that you register well in advance by calling Khushbu on +91 93737 70466 or Vallabhi on +91 84119 60959. You can also send an email at training.goa@lemeridien.com or vallabhi.vaidya@marriott.com
