Relay for Life 2009 @ Penang Youth Park

Went to Relay for life organized in Penang Youth Park a little while ago. Relay for life is an event to raise awareness for the Malaysian Hospice.
Hospice is a type of care and a philosophy of care which focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient's symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature. The concept of hospice as a place to treat the incurably ill has been evolving since the 11th century. The modern hospice began to emerge in the 17th century, but many of the foundational principles by which modern hospices operate were pioneered in the 1950s by Dame Cicely Saunders. Although the movement has met with some resistance, hospice has rapidly expanded through the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. - Wikipedia

Was with Julian and Sara that time... 4pm +, lots of people... the entire event are covered on the large field where they have tape circling the entire field for the walk.

Lots of station and booths offering activities and souvenirs u could buy coupons to exchange for which goes directly to the cause.

I participated in a lucky draw.. RM5 per try cos I saw the 1# price was a netbook! :p but i got a tshirt instead.. not bad la.. RM5 for a t-shirt and donation :)

P/S: perhaps I should participate next year...
Snapped around and went back shortly. It was quite hot cos the sun was still shinnin'. :)
