9th Sutera Harbour 7k Sunset Charity Run 2009

“GET HEALTHY HELPING OTHER”

“Fun Runs” are a wonderful way to raise funds and awareness among non-conventional donors. We’ve all heard of the old adage “Those who help others help themselves.” Running for a charity gives you an enormous sense of satisfaction from the knowledge that you are helping others and gives you a great fitness goal.

Runners also play a key role in raising awareness of the charity through the publicity they generate and will also enjoy all the fun of being part of a team! To participate, runners contribute a registration fee or collect pledges. In return, you enjoy an organised run and get drinks as well as a t-shirt.

Sabah’s biggest charity run, the 9th Sutera Harbour 7K Sunset Charity Run 2009 is happening on Saturday, 18th July 2009 at the Sutera Harbour Marina & Country Club. Registration fees are RM25.00 per adult and RM15.00 per child/students, inclusive of a fun event T-shirt. Registrated participants will run a 7km route beginning and ending at Sutera Harbour Resort.

The fun run offers no prizes to the winners but runners who complete the 7km route within 77 minutes are eligible to win lucky draw prizes drawn at the post-Run concert. A colourful carnival is the finale for the Run and promises to be livelier and more colourful than ever this year with a host of local artistes taking centre stage. There’s something for everyone at this year’s Carnival.

The renowned Charity Run is a fun run to raise funds for the Special Olympics Sabah and the Sabah Thallasseamia Society. Special Olympics is an international program of year-round sports training and competition for more than two million children and adults with intellectual disabilities around the world. To provide benefit and service to Thalasseamia patients in Sabah and to those having interest in Thalasseamia and strive for Thalasseamia patients to get the best and most satisfactory treatment.

To help to reduce the incidence of Thalasseamie patients in Sabah. To foster good will and closer relationship between families of Thalassaemias and vice versa, treatment centres and the public and so on.
