Event with a twist

Event with a twist

THE Lions Club of George Town Perdana, Region 1 Leo Clubs, Penang Sports Council and St Nicholas Home are jointly organising the Walk for Sight 2010 on April 11.

The 3.8km walk will be flagged off at Padang Polo on Jalan Sepoy Lines in Penang by Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas at 8am.

Organising chairperson Beatrice Lam said a sighted person would lead another sighted walker who would be blindfolded during the walk.

“We hope to get 3,000 participants and raise RM100,000 which will be channelled to St Nicholas Home,” she said.

The route will take walkers along Jalan Utama, Jalan Brown, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, Jalan Cantonment, Jalan Macalister and Jalan Residensi before finishing back at Jalan Sepoy Lines.

The fee is RM15 per person. To participate or donate, call Lam at 012-4889289 or St Nicholas Home at 04-2290800.
