The Grand Finals (Part 3) - Thank You!

[THIS ENTRY WILL BE RESTRUCTURED AND BROUGHT FORWARD...]


In the meantime, we, The RATTs - Nat, KK, Jason, Simon and myself would like to thank everyone - our friends, fans and supporters that have been supporting our team throughout the entire event... We THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for all your help, your effort, your time, your moral support and your contributions towards the charity event.

Together, with your help, we managed to raise an unexpected RM 20,000.00 for charity! And that's no small feat! That's more that what the entire Fitness First community raised last year, and this year, one team from The Curve alone managed to raise more than that amount!

Along the way, we smashed our collection target an incredible and unexpected 4 times - from RM 5,000 to RM 10,000; and then it reached RM 15,000 the night before the last challenge and we hit the big RM 20,000 on the charity final day itself!

Again, me and my fellow teammates would like to thank all of you - our doners, our friends who have helped us along this most memorable journey, friends who have been helped us in the background with so many things (our costumes, props, collection boxes, "The RATTs" blink-blink labuji's, our group poster, our group "fans and supporter" tags, our camera and video guys), friends who have attended our practices and challenges, and friends who have been supporting us "quietly" - all of you that have made our experience a most memorable and an a most enjoyable one!

And to our new friends we made along the journey, the people that have made the RUSH Challenges so fun and memorable - Team Disney from Leisure Mall, Tropical 5 from Manulife, Yee Haa from Maxis, Cheerz from Summit, Sunshine from Manulife and IOI Raiders from IOI Mall. Great job peeps! Together, all the RUSH teams managed to raise approximately RM 60,000 alone! And that's fantastic!

Although our team didn't win the Miracle Challenge this year - I guess that in the end we took back a lot from the whole journey and experience. The fun times that we had, the classes we attended, the puzzles we cracked, the laughters and great times we shared, the practices that we went through and the great friendships that we've won and gained - now that's something that money can't buy.

We hope that our friends and supporters enjoyed our final team performance - the team have practiced hard for the performance and deep inside, we know that we gave it our very best and we hope that we have put up a very great show for you guys out there. And we know we did well and the crowd enjoyed the performance because we received the loudest cheers and claps! :D
