When the ninth edition of the Wings For Life World Run (WFLWR) is going to take place on May 8th, the whole RASOULUTION team will put on their running shoes to make miles for the good cause. With RASOULUTION founder Tarek Rasouli being a Wings For Life Ambassador, for us, participating is a point of honor.
Normally being held in over 30 locations around the globe, the WFLWR charity run encourages people to run for those who can’t. 100 per cent of the money raised via entry fee will go to the not-for-profit Wings For Life Foundation, that supports research and studies about spinal cord injuries financially, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for these injuries as well as for para- and quadriplegia.
This year, the Wings For Life World Run will take place both as flagship runs in a few selected cities and as app-run for runners anywhere in the world to be able to participate to the event in their own way. Participants will run individually on their own track, but still be joined virtually via app.
As in the past, our RASOULUTION team for the WFLWR unites the RASOULUTION crew, our athletes, partners and friends. But we do not stop there: If you feel like joining the run to support the cause and if you are still looking for a team enter, you are more than welcome to run with us.
“For 20 years, I have been paralyzed and of course, I sometimes think: what if I could walk again one day and how much would I give to walk again? Wings for Life is a foundation that puts all their energy into finding a cure for guys like me. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people find themselves in a wheelchair, due to accidents in everyday life. With the Wings for Life World Run, I am happy to see that many people around the world make the effort and run for those who cannot. I am thankful to everyone that joins the event on May 8th, whether they run, walk, or just donate.” – Tarek Rasouli
The Wings For Life World Run takes place on May 8, starting at 1 pm CET. For further information on the run itself, how to participate or enter a team, please visit www.wingsforlifewolrdrun.com.
