Do you
have what it takes to run 8km in Palm Resort’s Sunset Charity Run4Fund?

The
success of the inaugural Run4Fund jointly organized with TJ Mart Kulai to raise
funds for the Palliative Care Association (PCA) of Johor Baru last November has
prompted the organisers to follow-up with the second charity fun run planned
for Saturday, August 20.
This is a
run with a difference. Palm Resort Golf
& Country Club has designed an 8-km
golf course route on the Melati course, one of their three challenging
18-hole golf courses, to welcome non-golfers to enjoy the scenery at the course.
The
organisers realised that a route within the golf course will not only give
non-golfer participants the opportunity to have first-hand experience of a golf
course but also to run in a safe environment which is free from vehicular
traffic.

The flag-off at 4pm will give participants
the opportunity to enjoy a sunset view of lush tropical greenery sprawled
across manicured hills and interspersed with water features like ponds and
streams.
The
charity run invites participants to join in two Open categories for Ladies and Men and two Veteran categories for Ladies (aged 55 and above) and Men (aged
60 and above). Cash prizes of RM300,
RM200, and RM100 will be awarded to the top three runners.
One of
the event sponsors, Dinowork, is helping to raise more funds by selling
souvenir teddy bears at RM50 each
with the sum of RM20 contributed to Run4Fund.
Club CEO
and Hotel General Manager of Palm Resort Berhad, Jef Kong, explained that the
cash prizes are just a token sum because they want to channel the bulk of the
funds to support the Palliative Care Association for their work with needy families.

In 1995,
the Rotary Club of Johor Baru pioneered the setting up of the first hospice in
JB to provide care to terminally ill cancer patients and the service evolved
into an association dedicated to providing palliative care.
Palliative
care is a medical specialty in providing comprehensive and compassionate care
to help terminally ill patients have a better quality of life while respecting
their right to live out their remaining days with dignity.
Since its
inception in 2007, the Palliative Care Association of JB has been giving
essential support free-of-charge to
terminally ill patients and their families. The total cost for providing free service to
patients is estimated at about RM325,000 per annum.
Registration
fees for the charity run at RM50 each entitles participants to an event
T-shirt, finisher medals and a goody bag.
So if you
haven’t done so, register now to run for a good cause!
