Starting in March 2022, the entire event lasted all the way to July 2022. In a span of around three and a half months, our Facebook ads accumulated 139 sign-ups and more than RM404k raised funds for the event.
Our ads reached a total of more than 573k people across the whole of Malaysia, bringing in not only participants from Sarawak but also participants from Penang, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur as well.
