This is a Charity Awareness Fun Run event aims to raise awareness about children with airway differences, including those who require tracheostomy, and to promote a more inclusive and supportive community. Through this program, we hope to highlight their strength, resilience, and potential.

The event features two fun run categories. Category A is open to children aged 7–12 years old, covering a distance of 800 meters of UM Arena Stadium. Category B is specially dedicated to children with tracheostomy of all ages, with a shorter 400-meter route to ensure comfort and safety. For Category B, each child will be accompanied by one guardian throughout the run and usage of wheelchairs and strollers are allowed.

The event also features our mascot, “Sunny, the Brave Giraffe with a Breathing Tube.” Participants are encouraged to wear giraffe-themed costumes to add fun, colour, and excitement to the event atmosphere.

Don’t rush off after the run! Stay and explore our booths from 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon—featuring tracheostomy care demos, free ENT screening, face painting, and fun activities for all ages. Stick around to see who will win the best giraffe costume and for a chance to win exciting grand prizes, including eWallets, vouchers, and day passes!

Join us in supporting these children and their families, and be part of a community that empowers every child to thrive and pursue their dreams!
