In response to the recent severe blood shortage in South Korea, 70,000 members of Shincheonji Youth Volunteer Group 'We Are One' (Director Jun-su Hong) stepped in and made the largest recorded group blood donation in history in late 2022. 100,360 people had participated in the blood drive in blood centres throughout Korea.
More recently, about 1,000 members of 'We Are One' participated in a charity marathon, raised and donated a total of 11.4 million Korean won (c.£43,000).
We Are One members participated in the '10th Charity Marathon' held at Yeouido Han River Park in Seoul on the 9th. The event was held as part of a campaign to spread a culture of giving.
Groups of 30 competing participants were matched with one beneficiary, and the entire proceeds were given as a scholarship for the benefit of children. A total of 1140 people participated in the 'We Are “Run”' group, a meeting of members who like running in We Are One. They completed a half marathon (21km), 10K, and 5K run.
The scholarship of 11.4 million KRW, which was raised entirely through the marathon, will be entirely used for children in low-income households. We Are One participated in the 10th Charity Marathon as an official sponsor and held a pre-marathon performance to lift the mood of runners and spectators alike.
Min-chang Kim, who completed the 10km marathon, said, “I prepared whenever I had time, and I ran with the goal of completing the race rather than setting a record. It was very difficult, but I am happy that I finished.”
Seung-min Son, head of We Are Run, said, “We Are One is doing 'We Are Run' to promote a 'running life' with young people who feel that they have been living 'life at a standstill' due to the obstacles in education, employment training, and income during the COVID-19 era.” He said, “We ran for these goals rather than ranking, and participated in the cause to deliver scholarships to neighbours in need.”
Jun-su Hong, Director of We Are One, said, “It was meaningful that we, We Are One members, could participate in this marathon for a healthy body and mind. It means a lot to us.”
We Are One's running group, 'We Are Run', operates 12 crews nationwide and carries out various activities that convey not only running but also good influence.
