Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 is making a conscious effort in its initial year to help raise funds for many of Malaysia’s charities, so they can focus on what they do best. Which is caring for and serving the less fortunate.

Our initiative is a community effort and cannot be successful without the support of runners, corporations, media and other organizations. Through this the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009 is taking a step forward to become a true community event and helping the less fortunate across all ages and ethnicities. The target groups include underprivileged and special needs children, people with disabilities, women in distress and the needy. Your generous donations to these initiatives will help them overcome their challenges and improve their lives.
