In the midst of taking on adventurous activities and having fun, the Sky Adventure Club never forgets to give back to society once in a while. We call this CSR (Club Social Responsibility). Haha…
AdventuRun 2008 was held on 12th October at the picturesque Taman Tasik Perdana in KL. The charity run this year aimed to raise funds for the National Cancer Society Malaysia. Participation fee was RM20 and there were 7 categories altogether catering for all ages. The distance was either 10km or 5km.
The event started at 7.30am with registration (but at like 5.30am for the crew members) followed by a warm-up session by our very shocked-but-spontaneously-efficient Coffee who did not know that he was supposed to be conducting it until the emcee announced it to the crowd. Yeah Coffee, you rock!

Opening speech by our lovely Sand Dragon (Ms Gomathi).
Coffee : "Err.... you din tell me that i'm supposed to do warm-up!"
The competitive runners (10km) were flagged off soon after that, with the rest of the runners flagged off 10 minutes later.
Er... did the gun go off?
Ah.. run only la...
Back at headquarters, there were booths set up by our official sponsor ING, other sponsors like the Vico truck and Abbott milk. There were also some interesting games to be played, such as the Guess Balls, Suck Balls and burping contest. Participants stood to win exciting prizes like the ING Renault car and shirt through these contests.

Suck balls!
We also had a “Lend a Hand” palm print banner, in which we charged RM2 for a palm print on the AdventuRun banner. All proceeds from the games and palm printing were channeled to NCSM. For entertainment, there was a dance performance and a band.

After the prize-giving and lucky draw session, there was a short speech by the NCSM representative, Dr Saunthari who gave us advice on cancer prevention through a healthy lifestyle. Finally, the event came to an end after the Organizing Chairperson, the adorable Dragoat gave a closing speech.

We are extremely proud to say that the event raised a whopping RM6,870 for charity, a record high for our club. Here, we would like to thank our sponsors ING, DiGi, Vico, Yeo’s, Permanis Sandilands, Mudtrekker, Abbott Laboratories, Classic Bonita and A4ad for their contribution in making this event a success. And also to each and every crew member and participant who have indeed made a difference by running the distance for AdventuRun 2008!
Thank you!!
