The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

The PVI Foundation Inc. is a non-stock non-profit organization, composed of volunteer students and professionals committed to the welfare and development of CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. One of the highlight activities of the organization is the Summer Therapeutic Camp every year.

Last April, Muneer and his older sister, Ate Thea, children of ASP Bacoor Chapter President Jan Peña, joined the 2010 Therapeutic Summer Camp, in Mexico Pampanga. The funds of this race will be use for the upcoming 2011 Therapeutic Summer Camp in Iriga, Bicol, a week before the Holy Week.

Witness how these kids become winners in their own way… We all care, we all are aware, so, we run for them and with them!
