Yup. It's our first ever Walk and the journey of organizing the event has been remarkable. I
truly believe that this event has strengthened unity among our EAP Malaysia
family as it is our daily goal to fight autism and we want the public to know
what autism is all about. We hope to erase misconceptions and stereotypes
related to autism as we believe that people with autism should not be shunned
but be understood.
As of now, our participant count is almost in the 300s and
we cannot wait for more to sign up! We believe it is crucial that people take
the first step in being a voice for the children. Just by walking, we show
families of children with autism that although we may never fully experience what
they face, but we care, and that we want to make a difference in their lives by
spreading awareness on autism!
It would be an exciting day! A day of fun with clowns, live
music, our own therapists selling hand-made items, a kids’ corner for children, a warm-up exercises session by Daily Muscle Body Transformation Camp, lucky draw prizes and all hosted by Asha Gill, our
very own multitalented artist as our emcee!
We are absolutely grateful for all our sponsors. Without
them, this event could never be a success. Our sponsors include Skymolite (M) Sdn
Bhd, an events equipment company, Plenitude Berhad, an investment holding
company, Golden Arches Restaurant Sdn Bhd (Mcdonalds), TSL, a construction
company, Says.My; People Powered Media, an online advertising company, Daily
Muscle Body Transformation Camp, a health and fitness company, Cupcake Chic, Health Lane, a pharmacy,
Skylace, a Mandarin language centre, Sekolah Kebangsaan Bukit Bandaraya, and
several individuals.
Hence, the 28th of April will be a historic
day for EAP Malaysia. It marks the beginning of us being a voice for the children, a day where we will walk in unison to necessary awareness on autism. This would be a day where people begin to ask more about autism - the first step in understanding
autism as a spectrum disorder.
