Running for a Purpose

Dear neighbours,

Firstly, let me clarify that this has little to do with the RA. So if you are not interested you can stop reading here...

But if you are, let me share why I have been running since the end of last year. Health reasons aside, the reason I signed up to run the Standard Chartered KL Marathon - Half Marathon (21 km) - is to fundraise for charity. Last year I embarked on a project to set-up a 3rd party fundraising platform for charities in the region. The site is www.simplygiving.com and allows charities and NGOs to set-up fundraising activities online and accept donations as well.

It's really my way of giving back and I chose the KL Marathon as my fundraising event. I also chose to benefit the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) who are doing a fantastic work for autistic kids.   

My goal is to raise RM 5,000 for this cause and I hope some of you will give me your support. My fundraising page is http://www.simplygiving.com/fundraising/viewfund.aspx?f=running4tsb and I invite you to visit the page, and if you see fit, give a hand to the selfless people at NASOM.

This is not an Ad, just a personal message to friends and neighbours.

Thanks in advance and we will be resuming regular service soon :)

Regards
mrjefe

  1. Sorry for my long silence, was gearing up for my run which I completed! Do read above if you have the time and I appreciate any show of support.

    In the meantime, let me speak with Goh or Rohaizal to check on the matters raise regarding the fencing. Does anyone have any updates to share?
