Various community groups from TLC’s Promise Me campaign fulfilled their pledges to Hospis Malaysia and presented a total of RM42,150.70 to the charity’s general manager, Puan Rosehayati Ahmad Noordin. The proceeds will be used to buy a variety of medical equipment such as syringe drivers, oxygen concentrators, nebulisers, wheelchairs and ripple mattresses. “By providing us a wide range of new medical equipment, Hospis Malaysia is now better placed to deliver a better quality of care to our patients especially for the individuals who cannot afford such equipment” said Ahmad Noordin. She added that the equipment will greatly bring comfort and ease to their patients.

The four groups involved used a variety of ways to deliver on their promises. Bald4Good, a social media campaign by Wit Ink Creative dared 11 brave individuals including two sisters to go bald for charity. By leveraging on its network of clients and friends, together with Schick-Energizer, Kaspersky and Autogridz magazine, they raised RM35,320 on August 21^st, 2010 at a shaving ceremony at Social Changkat, Bukit Bintang.
