Also present were member of Dewan Negara Senator Isaiah D Jacob and SCAS&FT president Dato' Hong Yee Keong.
During the launch, Dato' Sri Hajah Nancy lauded the initiatives by SCAS&FT to raise more awareness on the plight of PWD and this event given public the opportunity to walk hand in hand with PWD, supporting and empowering public to instil the values of passion and patience.
"This is a great platform for participants and PWD to walk, run and wheel together on the same platform, allowing them to better understand the PWDs community and our continuous efforts in promoting inclusivity and equality," she said.
The fact that the disabled will be participating together with others is a great form of empowerment for the disabled such as the blind, wheelchair-bound, cerebral palsy children, and autistic. It helps them integrate with society and instil public the value of passion with patience.
Event Organising Chairman, Datuk' Jerry Ching thanked the public, sponsors, companies and donors who gracefully came forward to support and help to raise funds not only for SCAS&FT but for the other participating NGOs.
