LOCAL EVENT: NATIONAL CANCER SOCIETY EVENT AT BUKIT JALIL 31 MAY "RELAY FOR LIFE"
The national cancer society is holding an event "relay for life"
Walk the track in Bukit Jalil stadium in support of cancer patients struggling with the illness. Many of us have had family members or friends who lost their life to cancer or suffering from cancer - so let us give them the support they need!
Amateur Radio is forming a team to participate in the event to be held on 31 May 2008 at 6pm until 6 am next morning at Bukit Jalil Stadium.
It is an overnight team event held in a carnival-like atmosphere filled with fun, comradeship and festivities. Participants have lots of fun as they challenge themselves and take turns to complete a relay style walk/ run. It is a time when people of various walks of life team up to raise public awareness about cancer in the community and to raise funds to find the cure.
In addition to the team members who are walking the track, hundreds of other participants are expected to camp out, create a community party atmosphere.

We need volunteers to participate as a team or as a communication liaison.
There will be goodie bags, very nice T-shirts and food coupons for the first 15 communication volunteers. So sign up now !!
For team members 10 to each team, there will be prizes and goodies. Amateur Radio will have a center in a marquee next to the medical team. Form your team or join in as individuals by contacting 9w2axe Azhar for more info or email 9w2axe@gmail.com
