In behalf of the TBR Dream Team, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Jimmy Ocampo who passed away this morning. He was a registered participant of TBR Dream Marathon 2013 this coming Sunday.

To honor his life and his passion for running, we wish to award him a TBR Dream Marathon medal on Sunday. His colleague, Don Ubaldo, has offered to run in his name.

RUN FOR JIMMY

All TBR Dream Marathon 2013 participants who wish to run for Jimmy on Sunday may get blank race bibs at the Poster Making Booth at the Dream Village activity area starting 1 AM on race day. You may write “I’m running for Jimmy” or a short note for Jimmy and pin this on your back while running the marathon.

RIP Jimmy Ocampo, TBR Dream Marathon Batch 2013.

We surprised our TBR Dream Marathoners with two videos last night. One was sentimental and touching…

This other one was simply star-studded! (Thank you to friends and teammates Iya Villania and Drew Arellano for shooting this for us! Mwah mwah!)

All TBR Dreamers Batch 2013 were treated to a Send Off Party last night at the Unilab Compound.  This was also our Race Kit redemption for all the participants.
