Subang Jaya, 27th May 2025 – In a vibrant celebration of community spirit and cancer awareness, Cancer Research Malaysia (CRMY) successfully hosted its first ever fundraising run under its own brand, the Race Against Cancer, drawing nearly 2,000 participants and raising close to RM200,000 in support of local cancer research.
Held in conjunction with CRMY’s 25th anniversary, the event took place on a sunny Sunday
morning at the Premium Parking Area of Subang Parade. Runners completed a five-kilometre route around the shopping centre, cheered on by families, friends and supporters. What began as a modest target of 1,000 runners quickly surpassed expectations, with overwhelming support from individuals, families and corporate teams across the Klang Valley.
The event was officially flagged off by CRMY Chief Executive Officer Andy Khoo, alongside key supporters including Dato’ Victor Hoo, Chief Executive Officer of VCI Global Limited, the event’s Platinum Supporter. Guests of honour also included Ryan Sua, representative for YB Wong Chen, Member of Parliament for Subang.
“This is not just a run, it is a movement. To see so many Malaysians come together in the name of science, in support of our local researchers and patients, is deeply inspiring. It reminds us that the fight against cancer is not fought in laboratories alone. It is a shared effort between researchers, survivors, families, and the wider community,” said Khoo The Race Against Cancer was a full day of family-friendly fun. Around ten activity booths lined the event space, offering engaging experiences for runners and spectators alike.
