KNOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT AXA HEARTS IN ACTION RUN 2019!

KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (Bernama) -- AXA Hearts in Action Run 2019 returns for the 5[th] consecutive year with a strong commitment to advocate for 5 social causes and a more challenging running experience. The run is set to kick off at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur on 21[st] July 2019 and this will be the first year where the half-marathon category is introduced to attract runners who wish to go for a more challenging category.

AXA Hearts in Action Run has grown to become a significant running event in Malaysia that draws thousands of runners every year to run for better health and most importantly, for a good cause. This year’s theme “Know You Can Make A Difference” reinforces AXA Affin General Insurance’s (AAGI) commitment to be an encouraging partner, supporting runners to champion a social cause close to their heart.   

AXA Affin General Insurance Berhad organised the Official Launch of AXA Hearts in Action Run 2019 and invited NGO partners from WWF-Malaysia, World Vision Malaysia, National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia, National Cancer Society Malaysia and Yayasan Jantung Malaysia, run ambassador Tahira Aliya and guests from the running clubs. AXA Hearts in Action Run 2019 returns for the 5^th consecutive year with a strong commitment to advocate for 5 social causes and a more challenging running experience.  

“It is highly motivating to see enthusiastic Malaysians coming together every year to support the social cause that they believe in. This is what drives us to continue the run for the 5[th] consecutive year, this year at the iconic Dataran Merdeka, to deliver the best possible running experience to all runners whilst continuing our commitment to give back to the society,” said Emmanuel Nivet, Chief Executive Officer of AAGI.

AAGI and all runners will be contributing a total of RM 100,000 to 5 NGOs. Each social cause is represented by different t-shirt colour and runners can choose their T-shirt colour based on their preferred cause — Environment, Children, Kidney, Cancer or Heart. Together with their family and friends, runners will also get to enjoy and learn more about the 5 social causes through a line-up of activities planned for the day.
