The Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon 2020 is back and Hospis Malaysia is excited to be elected as a charity beneficiary for its Run For A Reason (RFAR) programme.
The Ministry of Health Malaysia recently estimates that over 100,000 Malaysians will require palliative care each year. Sadly, currently less than 10% have access to it.* When you register to run for us and help raise funds, you are also helping us to achieve our vision of making professional palliative care accessible for all Malaysians in need when faced with a life limiting illness such as cancer, organ failure and degenerative neurological conditions (late stage Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Motor Neurone Disease).
RFAR registration for KLSCM 2020 opens on 15th January 2020. To secure a slot and run for us, email your full name and mobile contact number to pr@hospismalaysia.org and we will provide you with more details.
