Thisis entirely thanks to the great cooperation and support of over 400 volunteers, including corporate representatives
and organizing committee members, for which I am deeply grateful. I would also like to express my gratitude tothe 62 companies and individuals who provided prizes for the raffle, supplies and services such as water and foodon the day, and to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Asahi Shimbun, and Nihon Keizai Shimbun for theirsupport. The FIT Charity Run is an event that is almost entirely run by volunteers, from planning to execution. FITwill continue to support socially meaningful activities rooted in the community with your support."

19th year, and the total amount of donations has reached 1 billion yen. As we reach this important milestone, I
would like to express my gratitude once again to the sponsor companies, donors, volunteers, and supporting
companies that have supported FIT so far. Social issues are becoming more diverse, and there are many social
issues that are not yet recognized by society and need support. FIT will continue to support meaningful activities
for the society in which we work and live through this running event. I also sincerely hope that the FIT Charity
