600 people with rainbow coloured umbrellas will throng the roads heading to Penang Botanical Garden on 29 June with compassion and strong charitable spirit to provide financial aid to poor cancer patients.

This walkathon is organized by Penang Adventist Hospital, a not-for-profit hospital to raise cancer awareness & togetherness with family and friends for a worthy cause. The walkathon coincides with June’s Cancer Survivor Month, a commemoration of the dear ones who lost their lives to cancer and celebrate the lives of those survived the battle.

Raising Funds for Cancer Patients

The event will kick start at 8.30am, with walkers to be flagged off by CEO of Penang Adventist Hospital, Dr Wesley Toh from the field (Jalan D.S Ramanathan) behind the hospital. The walk would cover a distance of 4.5km from the field to Penang Botanical Garden, looping back for an approximately 90 minute leisurely walk.

The hospital aims to raise RM$250,000 from this event, with all funds collected benefitting the Hospital Cancer Fund to help the poor in need of cancer-related treatments at the hospital. Many philanthropists & corporations have come forward to lend a hand to give a new lease of life to the needy and to support of the hospital’s unwavering 90 years’ mission of “God Heals, We Help”. The contribution so far stands at RM$150,000 and the hospital welcomes more donations from the public and support in participating in the walk or sponsorship in kind.

Exciting Food Fair & Lucky Draw up for Grabs

Walkers can also have a feast of mouth-watering food served at our 20 food stalls during the event day. Food Fair coupons can be obtained at RM$10/coupon each or a booklet at R$M50. As part of the hospital’s community outreach program, 100 beneficiaries from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) are given sponsored food coupons.

To add to the excitement, over RM$20,000 worth of lucky draw prizes are up for grabs. The main prize are 2 sets of 4-day, 3-night cruise package onboard SuperStar Libra for 2 persons, sponsored by Libra Cruises worth over RM$4,000 each set and an Apple branded mini iPad contributed by Secure Parking Corporation. Other prizes would include dinning vouchers at renowned hotels, complimentary hotel stay, Tupperware sets and more.

Promoting Family Values & More

The Payung Walk 4 Charity also aims to promote family values, bonding and fun. A colouring contest is also lined up for the kids to flaunt their artistic talents and colouring skills. The colouring contest entitled “Healthy Life Style to Prevent Cancer” is still open for registration for children aged between 7 to 12 years old, with fabulous prizes await the winners.
