BR-Patrick will host a fund raising activity dubbed BR-Patrick Go! encompassing a series of charity-run events scheduled in January 2024, in support of the Children’s Cancer Foundation (YASKA).
The fund raising initiative comprises two events, the 130-kilometre (km) Closed Run and 3-km Fun Run.
The signing of a memorandum of understanding between BR-Patrick and YASKA was held at Impiana Jaya in Kiulap yesterday.
Signing on behalf of BR-Patrick was BR-Patrick Senior Life Advisor William Bon while YASKA was represented by its President, Tsara’ Nawwarah Chen.
The day also featured a press conference to disseminate information for the fund raising initiatives.
The event will kick-off with the 130-km Closed Run, spanning three districts covering the route from Belait District to Brunei-Muara District.
The Closed Run will begin at midnight starting from Harapan Complex in Belait District and will be joined by five seasoned runners, including Raymond Pang, Eric Pui, Jan Shim, Jin Ng and Michelle Chong.
Meanwhile, the second event, the 3-km Fun Run invites participation from the public and will take place at Serasa Beach.
Registration for the 3-km Fun Run will be open this month, while the collection of funds for BR-Patrick Go! commenced yesterday.
Proceeds generated from the events will be directed towards supporting YASKA’s significant initiatives for the children, including Graduation Day, Make a Wish and Ramadhan food supplies. – Rokiah Mahmud
