For Carla Felany, 42, running is no just an activity for fitness, achievements or her personal existence. Since 2016, the runner born in Palembang, South Sumatra, has changed the meaning of running in her life so it is a manifestation of charity. She has been running to raise funds to help people who need aid, especially orphaned children.

A tall and stocky youth suddenly grabbed the microphone and shouted with joy. Carla and two others, a man and a teenager, tried to calm him down. The three displayed affection for the child that continued to scream into the microphone. He was Giorgio Pramudya Ludiro, 13, the second child of Carla and her husband Stevanus Pramono, 43, the man. The teenager was none other than Gerrard Pradipta Ludiro, 15, the couple’s first child.
