The Tom, Dick & Harry’s 5km ‘Mou Man Tai’ Night Run is back once again for its 3.5 edition!
Due to the over-whelming response from the last run, the team at Tom, Dick & Harry’s (TDH) has decided to organise another night run on 1st July 2012.
What makes this upcoming run meaningful is, you contribute when you participate!
This time, TDH will collaborate with Malaysian Aids Foundation (MAF) to help raising funds for HIV patients, and to create public awareness on HIV/AIDS. For each registration (RM40 registration fee/ participation), RM10 will be donated to the MAF to aid their quest to stop the spread of disease and help those who are suffering from HIV.
In conjunction with the run, TDH held an event launching dinner at Tom, Dick & Harry’s, TTDI. Dr. llias bin Adam Yee, representative from MAF had been invited to give a talk on HIV. In the talk, doctor mentioned that public has always put a wrong perception on those carrying HIV. He said that they also lives a normal life like any other people, and public shouldn’t stay away from them just because they have HIV and worrying that this disease will infect them as well. Bear in mind HIV will only spread through blood (e.g. sharing of needles), pregnancy and sexual intercourse.
You will not get HIV by talking, hugging or shaking hands with a person carrying HIV, NO NO NO, definitely NO. So stop discriminate them, they need the support, care and understanding from public as well.
Hence, exactly right as the theme of this run à “ Mou Man Tai” life. TDH hopes that public can keep the spirit of “Mou Man Tai” life by gaining more knowledge of the disease and gives more understanding to those living with HIV.
The 3.0 run in March 2012 sucsessful to have 700 runners, and this time, the 3.5 run is targeting 2000 rwnners. Each participant will also receive energetic drink and free flow of beer after the run, sounds not that bad huh? You get to throw some sweat, get free flow of drinks, and most importantly, you contribute to the welfare of MAF and HIV patients.
So what are you waiting for? Join now, you can make a change to the statistic!
Wait for you at Tom, Dick & Harry’s TTDI on 1st July 2012 (Sunday), 5pm.
