Relay for Life - 2 June 2007

Another eventful day for Rotary Club of Sri Petaling and their family members was on the evening of June 2nd, 2007 as they joined others at the MSN Training stadium at Bukit Jalil for the RELAY FOR LIFE(RLF), where everyone in community joins in the fight against cancer. As this was our first appearance at the Relay for Life since our Club’s inception, we were acknowledged by the Emcee as we proudly carried our banner bearing our Club’s name and logo.

This Relay for life is a 16 hours event beginning at 7.30pm on June 2nd to 10.30 am of June 3rd and comes under the umbrella of the National Cancer Society of Malaysia. The campaign’s aim is to raise public awareness about cancer and its cure. Funds raised will go the establishment of a Cancer Screening and Resource centre in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

The RFL starts with the Survivor’s lap where cancer survivors walk the first lap around the track to celebrate their struggles and victories against the illness. They were followed by other corporations, organizations as well as individuals who want to show their support towards the cause. The night was filled with fun and festivities, shows and games and camaraderie was felt by everyone. Newly crowned Miss Malaysia/World 2007, Deborah Priya Henry was also seen on the track showing her support to a good cause.
