Run and Donate With ROASTERS Chicken Run

Last weekend, I had a marvelous run with Roasters Chicken Run (RCR) with more than 2,000 runners in Kuala Lumpur - to be exact in Times Square surrounding area.

Ready to run for charity with the ROASTERS

The flag-off took place at half past 7 am from Berjaya Times Square and it took me around 30 minutes to walk around and return to the square. I wasn't really running - I was enjoying my morning walk in the city.

It was such a nice view to see parents running with their little kids, some are running on their own while smaller ones were in their strollers. And some veterans were running faster than me too!

RCR is organized by Kenny Rogers Roasters (KRR) and 2017 marks its 13 years of running. RCR 2017 is co-organized by Berjaya Times Square, Berjaya Time Square Theme Park, Ultron, 100 Plus, Berjaya Hotels & Resorts, Campbell's Cosway, Kenanga Investment Bank, Milo, Nestle, RockTape, Salonpas, Sports Toto Fitness Centre, Starbucks, Super Asia (SAE), Unilever and Watsons.

"RCR's objectives are to promote healthy living and allows us to give back to the community by lending a hand to organisations such as Food Aid Foundation that are operating to help the needy by providing basic necessities such as wholesome meals," said Mr Sydney Quays, CEO of Berjaya Food Berhad.

I was made to understand that the funds (this year the fund raised is RM55,000.00) will be translated to 2,000 sets of Kenny's Chicken Meals and distributed to Food Aid Foundation, benefitting approximately 20 charitable homes for young and old.

These are some of the fastest ROASTERS on that day! Congrats to all!

I am so happy to learn that RCR has raised over RM701,000 over the years and gave back to organisations and homes such as Little Yellow Flower Foundation, Tabung Kebajikan Pesakit HUKM, Pediatric Unit HUKM (Oncology), Unit TUTUR - Aural Rehabilitation Center for Hearing Impaired Children together with Yayasan Budi Penyayang Malaysia and House of Joy and Faith, Yayasan Sunbeams Home, Rumah Juara, Rumah Kanak-Kanak Tengku Budriah, Rumah Sayangan, Malaysian National Kidney Foundation - Dialysis Treatment for the Young, Rumah Hope, Rumah Kebajikan Anbu Illam, Rumah Charis Ti-Ratana Welfare Society and Tabung Kebajikan Pesakit PPUKM - Young Diabetic Patients.

I hope that I can join again next year and I hope you will too.

Lets be healthy and be charitable. Your donation will go a very long way!
