This is the 2nd year that this charity run was held in aid of Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital "Needy Cancer Patients Funds" & Pure Lotus Hospice Compassion. The event was initiated by Adun of Kebun Bunga, YB Jason Ong, organised by Persatuan Kebajikan Masyarakat Muafakat Pulau Pinang with the technical assistance of PAAA and sponsored by many organisations.
The run was flagged off at 7:30am at the Youth Park towards the direction of the Botanic Gardens where runners rounded the lower loop and headed straight till J. Utama/J.Macalister junction, turned right along J. Brooke to Jesselton Height and finished at the Youth Park padang for a distance of 6.56km.
More than 30 of our group registered and apart from this charity run event we had our regular Sunday LSD which we placed more priority in view of the upcoming PBIM in 4 weeks' time. As such we started our scheduled 14km or 21km LSD at 5:30am so that we could continued with the charity run at 7:30am later after all this was not a competitive run.
Interesting to see all our runners were sweating before the flag-off and most of us were treating this as a fun run or a 'cooling-down' run. However the climax of the morning came after the run near the stage where we had an exceptionally big food party. It was a grand potluck with lots and lots of delicious food, among them pizza, coffee cakes and barley soup from Mei Ling, Dom fried rice from Cupido Kelvin, giant-paos from Nanny Cheng, tomatoes from James and many more. Many thanks to all of you including those if I had missed.
Many nice photos were taken and we thank all the photographers for their kind effort.
Thank you all the participants for the enjoyable Sunday morning
Thanks to the organisers and PAAA officials.
