The Xtra Mile Run----everyone deserve a better life :)



Not EVERYONE in this world live a good life. Not everyone can pursue their dreams. Not everyone can go beyond the limit. Not everyone born in a wealthy family.

Some may suffer from diseases. Some may suffer from hunger. Some may suffer from financial constraints. Some may suffer deep within their heart but no one knows.
BUT THEY HAVE THE TALENT. THEY HAVE THE PASSION. WHY DON'T GIVE THEM A CHANCE? TO LIVE FOR THE BETTER FUTURE.
On the 17-18 June,
one man will attempt to run 100km across 10 suburbs in 16 hours. Alex Au-Yong, The XtraMiler has donated his legs to StART Society to raise RM100,000 for the Music and Dance programme. You can help by following him throughout his run, cheer him on and pledge to this cause.

We know that not everyone can run 100km like Alex can, but you can do your part to go the xtramile! With a donation or RM10 or more, you can purchase a hand-made paper lantern from the kids at StART.

What is this XtraMile Day about?
XtraMile Day would be a nationwide clarion call that encourages all Malaysians to consider or engage in charitable works to serve the community of the less fortunate. The whole modus operandi is to create awareness and to encourage more charitable works amongst individuals and corporations, starting from our very own soil, Malaysia.

The core message of XtraMile Day is this: to go the extra mile by doing what you’re best at, serving the community within your reach; and doing it in long-termed sustainable fashion. The culture of XtraMile Day is to do something crazy, something novel and something out of your way in remembrance of the less fortunate, where anyone and everyone can do something to help the less fortunate.

Where is he running?
Starting point will be at Putrajaya → Puchong → Sunway → USJ → Subang Jaya → Kelana Jaya → SS2 → Damansara Jaya → Damansara Utama → Bandar Utama → Taman Tun Dr. Ismail → Mont Kiara/Hartamas → Damansara Heights/Bangsar and ends at StART Society in Petaling Jaya

Who is the beneficiary from this fundraising event?
StART Society (www.start.org.my)

SOoooo...dont wait until tomorrow. Donate now! This is A GOOD START to care for the LESS fortunate. :)
