The Malaysian AIDS Foundation Marathon des Sables 2016 Challenge

Malaysian AIDS Foundation is pleased to announce our latest fundraising campaign, the Marathon des Sables – MAF Challenge 2016. Marathon des Sables (MdS, pio7 “Marathon of the Sands”) is a six-day ultra marathon run over a course of 251 km. Ranked by Discovery Channel as the toughest footrace on earth, MdS takes place every year in the brutal environment of Moroccan Sahara desert. The 31st edition of MdS will run from 8th until 18th of April 2016 and is expected to draw the participation of 1,000 top endurance runners and enthusiasts from all over the world.
Jeff Lau, a 26-year Malaysian and a member of the Red Ribbon Youth Club is set to take part in this grueling race and lead the effort to raise funds for MAF, where proceeds from this fundraising campaign will be channelled to to support Treatment, Care and Support Programme for underprivileged women and children living with HIV. Jeff will reprise the extraordinary feat he achieved in 2014, when he and Ralph Dixon, a fellow countryman and aTrustee of MAF successfully completed the 29th MdS and along the way raised more than RM150,000 for MAF.
