Seeking Sponsor for KL-Marathon 'Run for a Cause'

Finally, the very much anticipated KL-Marathon 'Run for a Cause' is open for registration.

I am determined to run my first Full Marathon in the coming KL Marathon 2010.  To make the event more fun and memorable, I have taken part in the 'charity run event'... 'Run for a Cause'.

To 'Run for A Cause', runners can enjoy 'free registration' for the run if we can raise at least RM500 for one of the five charity bodies by 1st June 2010.

Basically, I have to raise RM500 to run 42KM for 'free'... if this is not insane, what else?!

I have chosen National Cancer Society of Malaysia as the beneficial body.

To make the event more meaningful, I am now inviting you to join me by contributing a small amount to National Cancer Society of Malaysia. For more information about National Cancer Society of Malaysia, you can visit http://www.cancer.org.my/.

How to sponsor me
You can drop a comment (at the bottom of this post) to tell me the amount, and the name you would like to appear in the sponsor list... I will do the rest.

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with online transaction, you can visit my Runner Profile page at http://www.kl-marathon.com/profile/5255.

Click on the blue "DONATE NOW" button and follow the instruction from there on.

To date, I have collected RM330... and I hope more will be coming in.  The first sponsor is no other than 'yours truly'.

My Training Plan

Can I do it?  To date, the longest distance I have ever ran is 26km on 18 December 2009, and that have almost taken everything out of me.  Frankly, I don't know if I can do a Full Marathon.

The good news is, I have about 13 weeks to prepare for it.

To all my sponsors and potential sponsors out there... just to assure you that I am serious about the charity event, here is what I am going to do in the next 13 weekends...

(22/3 - 28/3) 13 weeks to go: 21k (Energizer Night Run 2010, done, timing: 2hr 23min 15.63s);
