Held on March 30, 2025, at José Rizal University, the Pawsitive Strides Fun Run brought together students, staff, and pet lovers for a fun-filled day of fitness and community.
Nae: Question lang po kamusta po yung experience niyo this year sa fun run with your pets po?
Crystal: Masaya naman, happy.
Jill: Masaya siya, I would say better siya kaysa dun sa isang fun run na nasalihan ko.
Pearl: It was really ah good experience talaga and aside from healthy tayo na pet owner, pati yung mga pets natin ano din. It made them healthy kasi like they walk and run.
Kate: Nakakapagod, nakakaenjoy, masaya.
Casey: Actually, first time nila ‘tong fun run, yung for pets. Sobrang nakaka-enjoy, mukhang nag enjoy naman sila.
Sunday: Super fun. Actually, humabol lang kami dito eh.. Close na yung registration niyo, but then we saw the post of one of your merchants. So, nag pm kami sa page niyo to ask if we can still register. Kasi, we want to help your cause. It’s for the homeless tails. So, we really want to help them. So, tinanong namin if we can still register. We’re so happy na naka-join kami today.
Nae: With this fun run po na dedicated po sa mga stray animals. Ano po yung masasabi niyo?
Kate: Uhm, actually dapat marami pa sanang ganitong fun run para matulungan natin yung mga stray dogs. At saka, hindi ka lang nag-eenjoy kasi, nakakatulong ka pa.
Pearl: Ah, para sa akin ‘no, this is a good move. And maganda siya ulitin.
Sunday: It makes me happy na, there are organizations for universities na gumagawa ng mga ganitong fun runs for a good cause talaga. Kasi, hindi naman lahat ng dog lovers or animal lovers can adopt, diba? So, in a small way, like joining fun runs or donating, we can help out kahit maliit lang. We’re really happy joining these kind of events.
