I'll be participating on more charity fun runs for sure!” Barbie said in a previous Instagram post. Take a look at Barbie's inspiring running journey in this gallery:

Barbie Forteza has consistently been running, even on weekends. Barbie Forteza shared photos after her five-kilometer uphill run in Tagaytay. Barbie Forteza joined her first fun run in April, where proceeds from the event benefited children with cancer.

Barbie Forteza went on a 10-kilometer run for Save the Children Philippines. “Honestly, there were moments when I wanted to stop but I kept thinking about why I was doing it in the first place and it pushed me to finish all 10k. Legs are tired, but my heart is full,” Barbie Forteza said in an Instagram post.

One of Barbie Forteza's recent fun runs advocated ending violence against women. She said, “Iba talaga ang push pag may pinaglalaban.”.
