“With the run, we don’t only look at it as a leisure activity, but rather a moment of promoting good health. We run to beat non-communicable diseases, promote wellness for our members for a happier and productive workforce in the profession by not only focusing on the health aspect but
leveraging the networking amongst members”, Nakasiita said.
“The run is part of the member mobilization and coordination strategy for the association.
