To all Penangites and fellow Malaysians,

 

When was the last time you did something challenging? This could be the most challenging time for you, all happening on the 28th June 2009! Come join the

fun!

 

For the first time ever in Penang, St. Nicholas' Home and the Region 1 Lions & Leos Clubs of District 308 B2, Malaysia and Majlis Sukan Negeri Pulau Pinang

are co-organizing a Charity Walk in June 2009.

 

This Walk is not just any other Walk, but a Walk with a twist! It will be an interesting walk where one is blindfolded and led by another through a 2.3km

Walk along Padang Polo, opposite Hospital Besar Pulau Pinang. Partners can switch roles along the Walk, thus giving the sighted the opportunity to experience

blindness, to value sight and appreciate teamwork, to have fun and also to raise funds for a good cause. At the end of the Walk, lucky draw prizes will

be given away to lucky participants.

 

The event is to celebrate Lions 50th year Community Service in Malaysia and in conjunction with St. Nicholas' Home's annual fundraising project to raise

RM100,000 for purchase of new eye correction equipment as well as for cataract operation for the needy. For more details of the Walk, see above-attached
