KUALA LUMPUR: Athletes up for a challenge can do their bit for two charities by taking part in the Intermark Charity Tower Run 2012 on July 7.

The 62-storey vertical race up Vista Towers, one of the tallest in Malaysia, is organised by The Intermark Sdn Bhd and proceeds will be channelled to  SOS Children’s Villages and Shelter Homes Malaysia.

“The run marks the success of the Intermark development, its tenants and the communities who made this achievement possible.

“We feel the best way to celebrate it was to come together for a run which will benefit the children who represent our country’s future and growth,” said The Intermark Sdn Bhd director Patrick Liau in a statement.

Corporate companies are also welcome to send teams with a maximum of three participants each, but must be categorised according to age and gender.

Participation fees for individuals are RM50 and RM1,000 for each corporate team of three.

SOS Children’s Villages aims to provide a new family and home for over 78,000 children housed in 500 centres around the world.

Shelter Homes Malaysia on the other hand strives to provide better education for their children aged between four and 17 years.

“Besides benefiting the charities, we also want to spread an environmental message which is ‘Take the Stairs!’,” said Liau.
