MIRACLE '08

PART 1 / PART 2


 

It was MIRACLE '08. A charity event organized by Fitness First Malaysia.
Objective of today was to help the RATTS (theratts.blogspot.com) in raising funds for charity.
I was waiting for more pics to be given to me by andylee.com but he and his website kinda disseapeared.

For more info on how or wat the whole Miracle RUSH is... u need to surf the FF website or go the RATTS website at theratts.blogspot.com .. It just takes too long for me to explain and u wouldnt want to miss out on their entire adventure.

But suffice to say, it was a very memorable journey for a whole bunch of us. I personally helped them trained and supported them whenever I could. Am very proud of their accomplishment and am very proud to be one of their friend. They even took me as the sixth member, which means a lot to me. After being project manager and helping out 2 MIRACLE teams for 2 consecutive years to win 1st prize, i felt I need to help my friends out this time around too tho I've officially retired from the event. This time the MIRACLE challenges were different and was more towards collecting donation and points via Amazing Race like challenges.

Donations were meant for Mercy Malaysia (in aid of CHINA EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND)and KIRTASH foundation.


Took my new car for a spin to the Curve for the event

Thats me at my spot. Collecting cash by smiling and selling off the coupons. Had plenty of help from Farah, Fifi, Vincent in making the crowd going my way to sell off the coupons. Am very happy to have done my bit for charity and am sure the rest felt the same way too.

U'd notice that a huge turn up of volunteers were there that morning all dressed in white, am very proud of them coz they were stretched to the max. can see tiredness in their eyes, yet they strived above the occasion.

I know some of them didnt sleep the following nite and was indeed deprieved of caffein that morning. Seeing all that, I stepped up my game and did my part. Workin hard and stopping only for a sip of water and a quick late lunch later.

Am also proud of my friends for supporting THE RATTs and the going at nothing backing them up all the way. Their presence and togetherness made the whole event memorable and meaningful. Definitely a MIRACLE that bonds us that day coz we went all the way, trying out best in making others happy and feel united.

 

Godfrey didnt get the WEAR ORANGE memo..

Time was running out, it was mid afternoon and the sponsors were running out of redeemable merchandise. It was only 330PM and not even haf way thru the event. It was time to plan B.
 

The coupons were not selling as fast anymore and it made sense to redeem for goods and sell them for donation instead.
 

Keng Kee charming his way wif the gals to sell off the T-shirts
 

We bought everything, and gave things away for free, asking for donation money.
 

We almost even bought their muffins to sell them off... oh wait... i think i did buy them.... did I?

It was awesome, haggling the items. We enjoyed these part tho I dont think we earned much,
but it was the logical and wise thing to do then in order to collect more donations... :D
