Toon Bodyslam leads charity run to raise funds for medical equipment

 

BANGKOK, 6 December 2016 (NNT) - Rock icon Arthiwara Khongmalai, known to millions of fans as Toon Bodyslam, plans to run 400 kilometers in 10 days from 1 December to raise money for medical equipment, in memory of the late King Rama IX. 

The project, conceived as a tribute to His late Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej Rama IX, is entitled Kao Khon La Kao (meaning to "each take a step") intends to raise funds to purchase medical equipment for Bang Saphan Hospital in Prachuap Kiri Khan province. Currently, almost 20 million baht has been donated. 

Toon Bodyslam and his group will run from Bangkok to Bang Saphan district in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, with a total distance of 400 kilometers. 

Interested individuals can make donations by transferring their money to the project's bank account, Krung Thai Bank’s savings account “Kao Khon La Kao for Bang Saphan Hospital Project” number 742-0-37811-8, or through SMS by typing T and send to 4242865. Each call will cost 10 baht and is only restricted for those using services provided by AIS, DTAC and TRUEMOVE H (this price excludes a 7% VAT). 

The project's accumulated money will then be donated to the hospital on December 10, presumably after rock icon reaches his destination at Bang Saphan market.
