Hi, I am one of the organizing comittee members of Walkabrella. Thank you for featuring us on your blog. However, I noticed that on your event calender at the side toolbar, you noted down Walkabrella for the 3rd of Dec. I'm sure it was just a mistake and we hope to see you and yoru blog readers at the event (:
Thanks,
Amanda
so your target is to help children with celebral palsy or to break the record? which one is the main purpose? to help humanity or to be famous? please be more specific
Dear anonymous,
First and foremost, our main objective is to educate the public on what Cerebral Palsy is all about. This disorder which occurs in many children between the ages of 1 and 3 goes unnoticed amongst us healthy beings. So much is known of cancer and other health issues but ask anyone, and im sure you will find out that many are in the dark about Cerebral Palsy.
By educating the public on what Cerebral Palsy is all about, this in turn helps these children from being discriminated or being ill-treated without the proper health care and attention that they need.
Breaking into the Malaysian Book of Records is secondary. It is merely a way of pulling in as many people as we can get to come to our event, so that we can then educate the participants. It is to create hype. For without it, our event will not be as known and then we cannot achieve our objective of educating the public.
I hope this clarifies your questions and doubts.
Thanks,
Amanda.
