AirAsia continues to champion cancer awareness and support underprivileged cancer fighters through its cancer campaign, #AirAsiaMAKNA. Thanks AirAsia for supporting Cancer Awareness CSR programme and already in the Third year of the good cause!
AirAsia airline has raised RM300,300 for the National Cancer Council of Malaysia (MAKNA) through the sales of its limited editon pilot and cabin crew design t-shirts.
The cheque was presented by AirAsia Philippines Chairwoman and cancer fighter Marianne 'Maan' B Hontiveros, AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat, and AirAsia X Malaysia CEO Benyamin Ismail, to MAKNA General Manager Farahida Mohd Farid at the #AirAsiaMAKNA: The Big Fight Fiesta event.
AirAsia’s loyalty programme, AirAsia BIG Loyalty, also presented two million AirAsia BIG Points to MAKNA to provide cancer patients with air travel options.
AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat said, “Cancer is a worldwide
health concern affecting people of all ages, directly or indirectly. At AirAsia
itself, we have many cancer survivors who never cease to inspire us with their
tenacity and positivity. With our very own friends at work battling the
disease, we knew that something has to be done to also help those going through
the big C in the communities we serve.”
“Since 2015, our #AirAsiaMAKNA
campaign has raised RM1 million of funds to assist underprivileged cancer
patients in Malaysia. This humble yet important initiative would not be
possible without your support. I would like to personally thank everyone who
joined us in the fight against cancer,” he added.
MAKNA General Manager Farahida Mohd Farid said, “This campaign isn't about money. Initiatives like these go beyond that. Our alliance with AirAsia ultimately translates into saving lives and making a positive impact in cancer patients. Now Malaysians can not only just fly but make a social impact by touching a patient's life. It's an opportunity for everyone to help someone. AirAsia is truly a big heart organisation that has kept business and human touch in sync - that's why we work so well together. Thank you AirAsia, for making our cause your own. It is an honour serving with you."
Visitors to the cancer awareness event today were treated to an
educational day filled with fun activities such as health talks, clinical
examinations, cancer exhibitions, sampling and sale, special discounts for
health products and many more. Popular local artists SonaOne, Alif Satar and
Ismail Izzani also showed their support with live performances to delight
attendees.
Mouse mommy also learns how to perform routine breast check up in order to detect any abnormalities. We have to self-check from armpit region towards nipple and the entire whole breast region for both breasts. If there is any abnormalities detected, can consult doctor and perform either Ultrasound Breasts, Mammogram or MRI Breasts accordingly.

campaign, AirAsia is offering a 20%* off
