For Sports. For Women. For Malaysia Women Sports
On Sunday, a few ladies got together to join efforts in establishing a sports club to promote and raise awareness on sports and recreation for women in Malaysia.
All of the ladies are runners but there're cyclists and triathletes too, so while there's a consensus that running will be an important agenda in the club, other women's sports will be covered too.
I was very honoured when Karen Loh (Malaysia Women Marathon is her brainchild) included me to be a part of the committee.
I only hesitated because well, I do not have anything to offer compared to the other ladies that's on the committee. But I decided to participate as a way to give back to the community. After all, I've enjoyed so much from running and gotten so much from the running community. It's my small way to give back.
I'm not sure if I'm jumping the gun writing about our first meeting here so I won't divulge any details yet.
Just sharing that we had our first meeting to form the club and may our endeavours be a success! For the future of women's sports in Malaysia. ^^
All the best for it!!! =]
ReplyDeletelots and lots to do ... would be an interesting journey
ReplyDeletecertainly will. Looking forward to it :-)
Deletecongrats. I see many familiar faces!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of everyone, thanks Stupe. :-)
DeleteYes, familiar faces there. ;-)
Uniting Malaysian women through sports especially running, how cool is that.... Wahhh tumpang bangga gak la when knowing you are part of the committee too... Femes Momma Bunny has a big influence too in disseminating awareness of healthy lifestyles (all kinds of sports)... Clap clap... ;D
ReplyDeleteI'm volunteering myself as the macai. I'll run errands, make copies, take photos... :-D
DeleteBut am definitely excited to be a part of this. :-)
Aiyohh macai sounds too harsh la Sis, you should be called a devoted runner, an all-rounder lady, so fast one liao...
DeleteU had my full support too, towards more and more women being involved in sports in Malaysia... =D
Nope. With what little I know, I'm completely happy with that role. I don't mind work and don't need to have a glamorous role. ;-)
DeleteWhat a commendable effort! All the best, will surely sign-up as member (open for public lah kan? sedey la kalau idak)
ReplyDeleteYes, we are moving forward to have an official club. *excited*
DeleteOf course open for public nanti. The club plans to do so much for and with the community. Nanti join, eh? :-)
Good Luck Mak Glam! The journey to a thousand miles begins with the first step!
ReplyDeleteindeed! :-)
DeleteI always told my colleagues that big corporate companies are formed by a group of dedicated staff and teamwork. They always thought that bosses could open a big company right away and overnight.
ReplyDeleteSo I foresee our Malaysia's running activities and industry will someday be at par with the world's stage with all you ladies' hardwork and vision.
If next time you need to print those typical 4' X 20' tarpaulin banners for your events, let me know. I will try to make my boss sponsor ok.
Thanks Anay for your generous offer. :-)
Deletehmm. Interesting. I have few women friends who are into running and cycling. I will let them know on this new club.
ReplyDeleteAll the best!
I'll let you know once the club is launched ya. Thanks for the support! :-)
Deletewow, that's great! It's good to join the club so that one stays fit and healthy.
ReplyDeleteand to encourage others to lead a healthy lifestyle too. :)
Deletei think this is a very good experience and great opportunity to join in as a committee member, somemore by invitation from the chairperson (i supposed Karen is the chairperson??).. how lucky!!
ReplyDeleteYup, Karen is the chairperson.
DeleteI finally join after much thinking... I nay have nothing to offer bit I'll definite learn from this experience and I still can offer my time & energy for it. :-)
i supposed if Karen invited you to become a committee member of the society, she must have seen something in good in you, so do not be skeptical about yourself for not being able to have anything to offer compared to the other ladies.. Mak Glam sure BOLEH!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, think positive! :-)
Deletei am sure you enjoyed your first meeting very much and gain lots of knowledge and information from the experiences shared within the group.. fun ain't it?? and i'm sure you get more motivated and confident after the first time.. :)
ReplyDeleteit's so inspiring to be sitting together with those ladies. :-)
DeleteHow about hikers and mountaineers? :)
ReplyDeleteI'll ask! :-)
