“In addition to the values of a community run, the important mission of Run To Live 2024 is to bring opportunities and help disadvantaged children. Hung thinks it is great to be able to accompany and spread practical and meaningful things to life,” singer Duong Quoc Hung - an artist accompanying the Run To Live race shared with Sai Gon Giai Phong Newspaper before G-hour.
* REPORTER: Just received BIB to participate in Run To Live 2024 March 9th and the race officially starts tomorrow morning, how do you feel now?
- Singer DUONG QUOC HUNG: Hung's current feeling is very excited and enthusiastic after receiving the BIB to participate in this race. Hung wants to spread this spirit to everyone so that we can be more active in practicing sports to improve our physical fitness.
Today Hung came to receive his BIB and met many “comrade runners” of many ages. It was really crowded, bustling and certainly promised to be an extremely attractive and meaningful race.
* Why did you accept to join the Run To Live 2024 Race?
- Although Hung is a singer, he pays a lot of attention to training his health, physique and body shape. In addition to daily indoor exercise, Hung also participates in outdoor sports activities.
When receiving the invitation to join the Run To Live 2024 Race, Hung immediately agreed to participate. I love sports, love running and also want to spread the spirit and motivation to practice a positive healthy lifestyle to everyone around me. Especially, I can join the Run To Live Race Organizing Committee to contribute a small part to the important mission of the tournament, which is to help less fortunate children in Vietnam.
* Participated in several running races and was active in community-oriented music activities, according to Giai Ran Run To Live 2024 What values do you have and want to aim for? What special values do you see from the race?
- Although this is the first time the Run To Live race is organized, Hung finds it very professional and especially valuable and meaningful to the community. Hung always wants to share and spread the positive spirit of practicing sports, improving physical fitness and health for Vietnamese people. We must have good health, an optimistic and positive spirit to be able to bring more value to our own lives and from there spread and share with the less fortunate to make life better.
* How do you think the community connection of the race as well as the volunteer values and active support for children in remote areas through the "Lighting up the faith - Overcoming difficulties to go to school" Fund that the race aims for have spread?
- Hung thinks that we should not only participate in running races for the sake of the movement, but also choose quality races to join. With Run To Live, Hung feels that the race brings practical, meaningful and humane values to society.
In addition to the purpose of creating a large-scale, high-quality sports tournament for amateur and professional athletes to compete and improve their skills, Run To Live is also an important event that Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper and other co-organizing units such as the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City, Miracle Entertainment Group Company demonstrate their responsibility to the community through fundraising to support the program "Lighting up the faith - Overcoming difficulties to go to school" of Saigon Giai Phong Newspaper, supporting disabled athletes of Ho Chi Minh City, projects - community funds of the Vietnam Volunteer Resource Information Center under the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union ...
Hung learned that the program "Lighting up the faith - Overcoming difficulties to go to school" in 2023 has recently implemented a series of meaningful activities such as building, repairing, and renovating schools; donating libraries with books of all kinds, desktop computers, internet; donating clean water and lighting works; donating scholarships, uniforms, textbooks, notebooks, learning tools, health insurance, means of transportation to school; taking care of nutrition, essential foods; providing warm clothes and life jackets suitable to the conditions and needs of students in many localities. This journey of love has spanned provinces and cities such as Quang Tri, Quang Nam, Lam Dong, Soc Trang, Bac Lieu, Ben Tre...
The important mission of this Run To Live race is to bring opportunities and help to less fortunate children. Hung thinks it is a joy to be able to accompany and spread practical and meaningful things to life.
Although it was the first time it was organized, the general feeling of not only Hung but also many people was that everything was very carefully prepared, the connection spread in the community was very large from many departments, city branches, newspapers and television stations across the country reporting, sponsors, professional and amateur athletes with a strong, positive spirit... Surely with this spirit, the valuable meaning brought by this year's tournament and the following years will grow stronger and have a great influence on the community.
* Before the race started, how did you train and trek? How does exercising bring you excitement in life?
- In addition to Hung's free time, health training is always filled. So Hung is not too worried when the race starts. Just note that before running, we must warm up more carefully to avoid injuries to the legs, knees, etc.
Hung is aware that having health is having everything. “Nothing is more precious than good health. That is the most valuable asset of a person” - regular exercise makes Hung more confident when standing on stage, in front of the audience. Regular exercise helps Hung stay optimistic and happy even though life is harsh and difficult. A healthy heart, a longer and deeper breath helps Hung sing better, more emotionally and with more inspiration in composing music.
