About the Shine On! Marathon Challenge
Taking it step by step!
Running for charity is the most rewarding way of running a marathon. The Tyler Foundation is working with the local community to raise 20 million JPY this year through the Shine On! Marathon. All proceeds will go towards the Tyler Foundation’s Shine On! House Phase I in Tokyo, Japan.
Though it was still just a dream last year, Phase I of our Shine On! House is poised to open early in 2009! As a support center for families of pediatric oncology patients, this first phase will provide both childcare for siblings and act as a weekend relaxation space for patients and families. Ultimately we aim to provide emergency and long-term accommodation for families of very sick children.
You and your family can be a part of this ambitious but vital cause. We are asking runners who are already participating in the marathon in Tokyo to register with us for the Shine On! Marathon Challenge. Runners - show off your talent and be in the race to win some fantastic prizes! Supporters, friends and family of registered runners are encouraged to cast their bets in the name of charity and make an online pledge for their favorite team or individual runner.
