Berlin dela Fuente of call center giant Accenture was just one of the many dengue survivors, who have vowed to join this advocacy run aimed at aiding the fight against the deadly disease.
“The run per se won’t kill the mosquitoes that cause dengue. But the information campaign, the awareness that this race brings, they are really valuable because they help us how to prevent the disease,” said the 30-year-old management consulting, technology services and outsourcing expert.
Other dengue survivors joining the fun held by the Subterranean Ideas and the Manila Sports Council are Jennilyn Sarmiento, Rhina Templo, Mark and Roderick Isip, Hannah Fuentes, George Candido, Maynard Superal and Rome Masiglat, among others.
