这项由吉隆坡沐恩关怀基金会所主办的第三届慈善义跑——2018爱奔跑3.0活动，成功吸引逾693位民众参与。6月9日（星期六）当天清晨风和日丽，晴空万里，民众携老带少，成群结伴，集合于甲洞大都会公园，一起为爱奔跑，为慈善公益献出一份棉力。

吉隆坡沐恩关怀基金会主席林城礼先生在致欢迎词时表示，他为着民众参与慈善的热忱感到鼓舞。一个月前，509当天民众清早出门投票，希望国家有所改变，而我们做到了！一个月后的今天，民众清早聚集在此，也希望能改变自己，立志过健康美好的生活。其次，因着爱国，社会各阶层人士，甚至小孩都捐献马来西亚希望基金，而今天大家同样也因着爱那些有需要的弱势群体，参与这项爱奔跑活动。

509过后，全国人民希望看到国家改变，更好的政府、财务透明、司法独立、更有效率的公仆、更强稳的经济……今天，民众的参与及所捐献的款项也将为孤儿寡妇、残障朋友及有需要的家庭带来希望，以便能改善他们的生活。

最后，他重申民众透过参与这项充满爱心的活动，将重新为自己和他人带来改变、爱、希望和喜乐。

受邀嘉宾马来西亚基督教卫理公会华人年议会中部第一教区长郭进吟牧师也在致词中指出，爱奔跑活动不单是爱自己（健康）的表现，同时也是爱他人的举动，借着参与，将所筹集的款项捐献给社区里有需要的贫穷家庭和弱势群体。

他也说：“《圣经》里使徒保罗有提到，我奔跑不像无定向的（歌前9：26）。因此，他盼望每一个参加者能带着爱的使命去奔跑，不单是为了奖项，也爱自己，爱我们所居住的社区，爱我们的国家！”

主办单位当天也个别拨款5千令吉给甲洞美门残障关怀中心及华人年议会吉隆坡卫理儿童之家，现场移交支票给上述两个福利机构负责人，作为该两个机构建筑金用途。另外，卫理公会沐恩堂也借此活动，将为数5千令吉的款项移交给马来西亚基督教卫理公会华人年议会作为马来西亚希望基金捐款，由郭进吟牧师代收。
