Local Support For Siemens Run 2010 Celebrated

What? Siemens Run 2010

When? 18 July 2010

Where? Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur

Siemens Run is one of my most memorable runs. Why? Read about it HERE.

So, naturally I was very happy like a clown when I got invited to Siemens Run 2010 Soft launch/ Co Sponsors' Appreciation Lunch last Friday at Siemens Malaysia, located at CP Tower, Petaling Jaya.

Reception...

The Gallery...

Miniature train found outside The Gallery. FYI, Siemen AG (Berlin & Munich) is a global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering, operating in 3 core sector of industry, energy and healthcare. More info HERE.

I was the first few to arrive. Hence the empty gallery.

The soft launch was a very simple event, started with an video presentation, followed by a speech by the President & CEO of Siemens Malaysia and the logo presentation by the co-sponsors.

Meet Mr. Prakash Chandran, the President & CEO of Siemens Malaysia

Themed "What are you running for?", the annual charity run gives each runner a chance to display their personal reasons to run; be it for improvement or motivation, or even as a team building event. It is the only run where you can run for your Dream or anything you wish, and display them on a shirt bib.

The run debut in 2004, with 1000 runners, and has steadily increased participation over the years. This year, Siemens Run is targeting some 6,000 individual and corporate runners for the charity run.

To date, Siemens Run has raised nearly RM300,000 for charity. These funds have helped thousands of underprivileged children and youths improve their lives.

Siemens Run aims to raise RM150,000 in proceeds for this edition of run.

What are you running for?

Heheh! :)

Closing date 26 June 2010 or upon reaching 6,000 participants, whichever comes first. SO HURRY!

Acknowledgment: Thank you Siemens Malaysia, especially to Ms. Goh for the invite and all the info we needed for the blogpost.
