WALKATHON 2009

On the 4th of October 2009 we had our biggest event of this year, our Walkathon 2009 in Monash University. The main goal of this event was to spread the awareness of global warming and have fun at the same time walking with friends and family. It was a great success, with over 250++ participants joining.With sponsors from Canon and F&N we were able to create T-shirts and banners to help promote this event. We were also able to get free goodie bags from Sunway Pyramind. Overall it was a great event, here are some pictures:

Health Awareness Week

During the Health Awareness Week, the Leo Club of Monash University has organised a blood donation drive, health screening programme, organ donation and fundraising for National Kidney Foundation (NKF). This event was successfully carried out from 14^th September to 16^th September 2009. It was held at the concourse area of Monash University Sunway Campus from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

The purpose of blood donation campaign was to increase awareness about the importance of blood donation and also to ease the blood supply of Pusat Darah Negara. There were 88 packs of blood collected throughout the blood donation drive.

The NKF mobile LifeCheck team was also invited to hold basic health screenings for the Monash community. The health screening programme comprised of the measurement of blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol level, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, urinalysis and counseling. There were as many as 219 staff and students who have participated in the health screening.

In addition, staff from the National Transplant Resource Centre was invited to promote the organ donation programme. This is to encourage and inform the staff and students about the importance of organ donation. Throughout the campaign, there was a total of 47 Monash staff and students who have pledged their organs.

A booth was also set up to fundraise for the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). NKF merchandise items such as mugs, towels, magnets, disposable thermometers, postcards and recycle bags as well as mooncakes were sold. A total amount of RM1211.70 has been collected from the sales and a donation box. This amount was fully donated to NKF.
