Anne Curtis is back to running one of the world’s most prestigious marathon events, the London Marathon this coming April 22.

Anne has long been known to be one of the most famous faces in Philippine TV. Yet behind the camera, the actress is actually a UNICEF (United Nation Children’s Fund) Celebrity Advocate for Children.

Now, the actress showcases yet again what it means to be an advocate for Children as she dedicates the 42.195 kilometers of the London Marathon for the children affected by the war in Marawi.

One thing is for sure though, running for the children of the Philippines will keep me inspired! 🏃🏻‍♀️ Thank you to everyone that’s donated! You can still donate over on my simply giving page (link in my bio) ❣️ All funds that I raise will go towards @unicefphils programs for the children of Marawi that were affected by the war. Thank you again!! Waaaaah! Almost at the home run! Eeeeep! Still have to find the perfect running outfit that will suit the weather in Londy! Nothing obviously available here! Anyone can give me a heads up #LondonMarathon #LondonMaratANNEventure
