8 Portraits of Sheryl Sheinafia and Daffa Wardana Ready to Complete Humanitarian Mission Through World Marathon Majors 2025

Daffa Wardana is also participating in the Sydney Marathon for a similar mission. He mentioned that his involvement is a form of concern for families of child patients who often come from remote areas without adequate housing during treatment.

"I am present at the World Marathon Majors 2025 to help support the construction of the 4th RMHC Foundation shelter in Kemanggisan," said Daffa.

The shelter will be built in Kemanggisan, West Jakarta, with 66 rooms that will serve as temporary housing for the families of child patients referred to three major hospitals: Harapan Kita Heart Hospital, Harapan Kita General Hospital, and Dharmais Cancer Hospital. This is a tangible form of support from the RMHC Foundation in addressing the urgent needs of patients from outside the region.

The chairperson of the RMHC Foundation Indonesia, Caroline Djajadiningrat, stated that the participation of runners in this international marathon event is not just about sports, but a symbol of the struggle towards a better future for Indonesian children.

"We believe that every step taken by our runners is a symbol of the steps toward a better future," he said.

Data shows that more than 9,000 children with congenital heart disease were treated at Harapan Kita Heart Hospital during 2022–2023.

With 91% coming from outside Java Island, many of them are forced to stay in hallways or prayer rooms because they cannot afford to rent a place. Shelter homes are present as a solution so that children do not undergo the recovery process alone.

Through collaboration with PERKI and active participation in the World Marathon Majors 2025, the RMHC Indonesia Foundation invites all layers of society to support this movement, whether as donors, runners, volunteers, or message spreaders. Because when our steps are united for good, hope can grow stronger than before.
