HSBC (Brunei), one of the most social responsible financial institutions in the country, will host its biggest charity event so far this year called 'Walk Run Cycle 2011' on May 22 to raise funds for the education of children with special needs.

This year's event is to raise fund for three charitable organisations: SMARTER, Pusat Ehsan and KACA.

The details of the HSBC charity drive were revealed by Mr Lim Boon Teck, Manager Corporate Sustainability of HSBC (Brunei) in a press conference yesterday afternoon.

Mr Lim who has been actively involved in social responsibility projects said, "Every year we organise charity events that have become one of the most anticipated events in Brunei. For the past few years, we have been doing cycling and this year, we want to involve more participation from the Bruneian community so we have a mix of walk, run and cycling, called Walk Run Cycle 2011.

"We have an official website for the event which is www.walkruncycle.com, where all the information can be obtained from website."

During the press conference, Mr Lim also thanked the sponsors namely Triple Star, SCOTT, Fitness Zone, Laneige, Red Bull, Kingston, and Revive. Other sponsors included Interhouse Co Armtric Enterprise, Madmilk, IBIC Sdn Bhd, Sehat, Shopping.com.bn, exclusive media supporters Borneo Bulletin and Media Permata as well as exclusive radio station Kristal FM.

More than $15,000 worth of lucky draw prizes are up for grabs in the charity-driven event, thanks to the sponsors.

He highlighted, "Participants will have the opportunity to win lucky draw prizes that include Fitness Zone membership, iPhone 4, iTouch, bicycle, cameras, and PS3. Without the sponsors, we would not be able to host the event. Overall, all the prizes worth around $15,000."

The event will be held on May 22 and will begin at Taman SOAS.

According to Mr Lim, participants can choose from two categories - the 45km cycling or the 8km of walking, fun run and cycling. The route for both categories can be obtained from the official website.

He added that the 45km route is for cyclists only and participants have to be over the age of 16 years old. For safety reasons, cyclists are expected to be able to maintain a constant speed of 25km/hr. Participants of the 45km route are expected to start at 7am on May 22, while the 8km route is open for walking, fun run and cycling.

The event for the 8km will start at 7.30am on May 22. All the participants in the 8km walk, run and cycle must be aged at least six and children under 12 years old must be accompanied by parents or legal guardian.

Mr Lim added, "Registration forms can be obtained at all HSBC branches, Triple Star Enterprise, all Fitness Zone branches. The form can also be downloaded from the official website. The participants will be given a donation card to collect donation and a bib number that will be the lucky draw number. Participants will receive exclusive merchandise of HSBC Walk Run Cycle, a one week pass at Fitness Zone and a gift from Laneige."

The registration fee is $10 and all proceed will be given to SMARTER, Pusat Ehsan and KACA. Closing date for registration is April 30 and we are targeting about 1,000 participants.

Also present at the conference were sponsors Lee Ming Hua of Triple Star Enterprise; Wu Chun of Fitness Zone; Ali Sahrin bin Ahmad, Operation Manager of Fitness Zone; William Shim of Kingston Beverage, Wong Chin Toon of Greencity Concept and Mr Lim Hong Seng of Laneige Brunei.

Wu Chun in an interview with Bulletin said, "Any activities related to healthy lifestyle and charity, Fitness Zone would like to take part in. We are giving away one-week passes to all the participants. It's very worthwhile because a day entrance fee will cost $20 per person. We will also provide instructors for the aerobics warm-up exercise."

He also expressed "I would like to urge everyone to join the event to not only help raise money but also promote living a healthy lifestyle through exercising."

Mr Wong Chin Toon of Greencity Concept also hoped that members of the public would support the event to raise funds for the charity organisations.

He said in an interview, "We are happy to be involved again. It's part of Red Bull social responsibility. We will be hosting some games to help raise funds and we hope that the public will come out to support."
