Takbong Pangarap's Rojas injured

Runner Joy Rojas has suffered a pelvic injury which prevents her from continuing the 5,000 km run from one end of the United States to another for the Takbong Pangarap project.

In an e-mail to Business Mirror's Francine Medina-Marquez, Rojas said “I am not quitting...We’ve about a third of the US left to cover and I know I can do it if I just get better.”

She added that the deadline for reaching her destination, New York, has been moved from September to November. Rojas and Macabe are currently in Los Angeles while she recuperates.

The stall in the project follows the breakup of the original Takbong Pangarap team, which included Rojas, her running partner and boyfriend Mat Macabe and Team Manager Chuck Crisanto.

Macabe had alleged that Crisanto abandoned the project, taking 70% of the team's funds with him. Crisanto denied this, later releasing an advisory that he withdrew from Takbong Pangarap due to Rojas and Macabe's refusal to adhere to running the course continuously and with proper documentation.
