The press conference announcing the annual charity event “Run For The Heart 2025” took place at Eaton Park, Ho Chi Minh City, on August 28, 2025. This fundraising run is organized by Gamuda Land Vietnam in collaboration with Heartbeat Vietnam and Scar of Life, aiming to provide life-saving heart surgeries for underprivileged children with congenital heart defects across the country.

This year marks the 11th season of the program with the message “Spread Love To All Heartbeat.” After more than a decade, Run For The Heart has become one of the most significant charity sporting events in Vietnam, giving thousands of children the chance to live while spreading a lasting message of humanity: every step taken by the community is a heartbeat restored.

Behind the innocent smiles of children born with heart defects lie long battles against illness and financial burdens far beyond their families’ means.

On that journey, Run For The Heart has become a pillar of hope, where millions of hearts come together to sow seeds of compassion and bring the gift of life.

Since its first season in 2013, Run For The Heart has become a hallmark community sports philanthropy event, gathering thousands of participants each year. Season after season, the event has not only connected hearts but also given new life opportunities to children with congenital heart defects. To date, the event has raised more than VND 46 billion, enabling 1,716 successful heart surgeries.

In 2025, the run aims to raise VND 5 billion, which will fund approximately 140 heart surgeries for disadvantaged children. The event is expected to attract more than 5,000 participants from provinces and cities nationwide.

Mr. Angus Liew, Chairman of Gamuda Land Vietnam, shared:
 “Every year, with each step, we witness miracles. Gamuda Land is proud to walk alongside thousands of compassionate hearts, sowing seeds of hope and writing new futures for children who deserve to be saved.”

Speaking about Gamuda Land’s companionship, Mr. Rad Kivette, CEO of VinaCapital Foundation, affirmed:
 “For children born with congenital heart defects, surgery is not only a chance to survive. It is an opportunity to grow up healthy, to learn and to dream about the future. Gamuda’s support lightens the financial and emotional burdens for the children’s families and providing their parents the assurance of a more stable and productive future. I am truly grateful to Gamuda Land Vietnam for bringing new life, new hope and the ability to dream dreams to our children in this wonderful country, Vietnam.”
