GFI Employees run for Charity
In the second edition of what has now become an annual national event, employees from GFI Software (Malta) participated in The President’s Charity Fun Run 2010 – a run/walk held in December in order to raise funds for the Malta Community Chest Fund, a charitable organization that shares the proceeds with various good causes.
A number of Malta office employees chose to don their running shoes and do their bit for charity… and for the exercise, as they made their way along the 7km stretch to the capital city of Valletta! Participation required a small fee, which the voluntary GFI Charity Fund committee matched, thereby doubling the funds raised. A record total of 7,000 people participated in the fun run.

Whoever said that Tech Heads only exercise their fingers behind a computer? It’s always great hearing that GFI Software supports these kind of events, especially for a cause that deserves as much attention as it can muster. As an active runner myself, I only have the highest regard for those who get out and get active, even on a non-competitive level. But what am I talking about? Running is always competitive!
