“The ROASTERS Chicken Run has seen tremendous support from the public since its inception. In year 2012, we managed to raised a total of RM60,000.00 for the needy. In line with the I Love i.care campaign, we’re really looking forward to gather generous Malaysians to raise a significant amount in support for this year’s run. Besides the run is also a great way for friends and family to have fun while helping the underprivileged,” said Esther Woo, Deputy General Manger of Berjaya Roasters (M) Sdn Bhd.

Unlike conventional runs, participants of the ROASTERS Chicken Run will have to balance an egg on a cone whilst running the route.

The participant will be disqualified from winning the prizes if the egg breaks RCR 2013 will also see the appearance of a special guest – Ms Lee Sinje, the founder of Little Yellow Flower, to flag off the participants to run for charity.

This initiative will be more successful with participation from the public and I hope to see as many people as possible on 23 June 2013!” urged Lee Sinje, the founder of Little Yellow Flower.
