“ We cannot change the whole world at one go, but we can make a difference one step, one person and for one family at a time. ” Terence Ong, Managing Director of Pernod Ricard Malaysia
"We managed to deliver over 140 Brightboxes to rural communities in the Ranau region of Sabah last year, and another 50 units to the victims of the Nepal earthquake. The numbers might not seem much, but it has already made an impact for about 200 families. We cannot change the whole world at one go, but we can make a difference one step, one person and for one family at a time." said Terence Ong, Managing Director of Pernod Ricard Malaysia.
Families, running enthusiasts and even those who are environmentally conscious are encouraged to participate in the 2016 Bottled Hope Run as every entry will help to make a difference to someone else’s life.
