TESCO Malaysia, in its efforts to help children with leukaemia recently launched the Walk for Life 2012. which will be held on Sunday at the Bukit Jalil Park in support of underprivileged children suffering from leukaemia.
With the theme 'Helping Children with Leukaemia', this project is one of Tesco Malaysia's fundraising efforts aimed to raise RM1mil to help 100 children with leukaemia from underprivileged backgrounds over three years.
"Walk For Life is our way of giving back to the community while getting our customers and colleagues involved in our community programmes.
"We always strive to contribute positively to the community whether through the way we operate or by supporting the community for a better future," said Tesco Malaysia corporate social responsibility head Lee Ann Low.
"The funds raised today will be used to help finance the crucial treatment cost for underprivileged children with leukaemia as well as help their families bear transportation costs.
"Not only will they have a chance to help those in need, but at the same time, participants can enjoy some family fun time at the walk," Low added.
In addition to the walk, the event also features activities such as a Walk'n'Hunt where participants have a chance to win a year's worth of groceries, a cook-along with celebrity chef Sherson Lian, game stalls and an appearance by award-winning cheerleading team, Dynamitez.
The event is open to all members of the public and tickets to participate in Tesco's Walk For Life are priced at RM15 for adults and RM10 for students.
The tickets can be purchased at any Tesco outlet in the Klang Valley and the company hopes to raise RM50,000 through the initiative.
University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) consulting paediatric haematologist and oncologist Prof Dr Hany Ariffin said, "Childhood leukaemia is no longer a death sentence. Cure rates for lymphoblastic leukaemia, the most common type, are currently between 80-85%.
"Most children grow up completely cured and can lead normal, productive lives."
"No child should be excluded from the chance of being cured simply because of their poor socio-economic standing.
"The support and participation by the public at the Walk for Life can make a big difference," she added.
The Walk for Life has garnered great support from Tesco suppliers such as Nestle, Serba Wangi, TCC Global, Total Solution, Team Lobos, Liasara Fine Food, LIG Sales, Semarak Resources, Top Office and Mehko.
Since the launch of the Helping Children with Leukaemia campaign in August, Tesco has raised RM162,000 for the UMMC.
The funds to help finance the children's treatments are disbursed on a quarterly basis to deserving children with leukaemia identified by medical centre.

Earlier this week, one of the motoring world's iconic names was given a fresh take; the new SL has landed. But, despite the similar badging, it's not really the successor to the all-conquering 300SL supercar of the 50s.
This got us thinking. The Mercedes most closely allied to the 300SL's roots is actually the SLS AMG; that insanely loud, insanely fast and insanely gull-winged 571bhp supercar. Turns out, the man behind its striking looks and style is Coventry University design graduate Mark Fetherston, our man on the inside.
He's the team leader in Exterior Design at Mercedes in Sindelfingen, Germany, and was one of the key proponents in the supercar's stylistic values. And to understand how this new 'Gullwing' was born, we must first travel back to 1896...
The burgeoning corporate landscape of the late 1800s provoked a debate that has never really gone away. Faced with the phenomenon of tall office buildings, leading architect Louis Sullivan pondered on the issue of introducing grace to what he feared would simply become "sterile piles".
The solution? "Form must follow function". And his dictum, first spoken in 1896, had critical implications for the car industry. Notably Mercedes Benz, and the 1951 arrival of the superlative Mercedes Benz 300SL racer.
It was immediately lauded for its lightweight and robust tubular spaceframe construction. This extended high up the sides of the car, forcing Merc to install upwards-opening doors to allow drivers to climb into the cockpit. Enter the classic 'Gullwing' door.
55 years later, it returned to Mercedes in the SLS.
"The project was proposed to us in design in 2005 as quarter scale models," says Mark, "a kind of teaser as to how a potential new Gullwing could look." Mark chatters away with an infectious enthusiasm - it's clear the SLS project is very dear to his heart.
"The decision to build it was on and off for a while, and really emotional for me as I knew how special the car was. Sometimes I would go home thinking that nobody would ever see it - I was convinced it would be the perfect addition for Mercedes and deserved to 'live'..."
Gallery: see original sketches and pics of the Mercedes SLS AMG
But live it did, and the project became serious in 2006 after AMG decided it wanted to build a supercar on its own. "This was exactly the type of car that I became a car designer for," says Mark, "so my reaction when I heard AMG were interested was 'I'll believe it when I see it on the road'."
Obviously, something of this magnitude requires many brains and many pens, and once word was out, all of Mercedes' design studios were briefed and asked to propose ideas for the new supercar: a follow-up to the 300SL.
"From all these ideas we made six quarter scale models", says Mark. "So, in the beginning we'd receive a brief, then we'd get two weeks to sketch it out, present our ideas and then build six scale models over eight weeks. We then chose one of these models, digitised it and milled out a full size version, and after six months on the project, we pretty much had our final design."

Though it doesn't come with the more-than-comfortable salary of a law firm partner, the draw to public service could lure Holder back to the Justice Department.
"What's great about the Obama presidency is that so many people, like Eric Holder, are willing to forgo big incomes and endure intrusive vetting to get back into public service," said Doug Kendall, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center. "What he's doing at a loss to his pocketbook and family life is what America needs to right the ship."
Holder has made it clear that he agrees with those who believe the country is on the wrong path.
Last summer, Holder repudiated the Bush administration during a speech at the American Constitution Society's national convention.
Referring to the "disastrous course" traveled by the Bush administration, Holder called for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, a condemnation of torture and the end to warrantless domestic surveillance.
"Our needlessly abusive and unlawful practices in the 'War on Terror' have diminished our standing in the world community and made us less, rather than more, safe," Holder said.
"For the sake of our safety and security, and because it is the right thing to do, the next president must move immediately to reclaim America's standing in the world as a nation that cherishes and protects individual freedom and basic human rights."
If he ascends to the attorney general post, Holder could significantly impact the policies he -- and President-elect Obama -- have so vocally renounced.
ABC News' Jake Tapper and Ariane de Vogue contributed to this report.
