◎Testimonials from charity runners who participated in the Tokyo Marathon 2024
■Tokyo Marathon was absolutely fantastic. My charity, Teach for Japan was very kind to accept me. I had the perfect experience and there is nothing to complain about. Everything was just perfect. I love Japan, the people and the culture.
■It was an honor to help an organization across the world, helping the LGBTQ+ community been through it all myself in times where support was as present, made me want to support this good cause, Tokyo Pride house
■I had a wonderful experience with Care International. The communication of their mission, involvement, race information, etc. was helpful. I could feel their level of support for me leading up to the race. I appreciated the dinner so as to meet the charity staff and board members - this made me feel more connected to the team. Everyone had such a positive attitude and were very welcoming. I would definitely consider supporting Care International again in the future. I felt proud to represent Care during my run!
■I am very grateful to the conference for being willing to provide this channel so that we can really have the opportunity to help people in need. Although it is a small gesture, it gives these people in need a chance to change their lives. , a positive inspiration, this small kindness, they feel that the world is warm.
■The Charity Program has been something special and incredible at the same time, offering me the chance and the opportunity to concretely help all the kids of my Charity Association, NPO Florence. The Tokyo Marathon offered me the possibility to meet NPO Florence personnel and to make new fantastic Japanese friends. I will do it again! It was a fantastic experience!
■My charity, JOICFP, was very good. They provided lots of information. They set up a Facebook page to allow us to meet other charity runners. They had a pre-race meeting to let us know where to go. They provided support for our families. They cheered us on the sidelines of the race. Their reception lounge was very nice. I enjoyed very much running for them.
■I very much enjoyed the Tokyo Marathon and running for Ronald McDonald House Japan was a great way to get an entry and support kids and families going through medical situations.
