KUALA LANGAT, 07 November 2025 — Unity, resilience, and compassion took centre stage at the Blue Cap Run 2025, which brought together 2,500 participants, including cancer survivors, corporate partners, medical professionals, and members of the public, all united to raise awareness and support for prostate cancer.
The event was co-organised by Yayasan MR D.I.Y., the charitable foundation of the MR D.I.Y. Group, and Universiti Malaya (UM), and held at Gamuda Cove. It was officiated by YB Hannah Yeoh, Minister of Youth and Sports, who commended the organisers for championing cancer awareness while fostering community engagement and healthy living.
Participants joined two categories: the 5KM Open Run and the 1KM Survivors’ Run, both designed to honour cancer warriors and encourage inclusivity. The sea of runners wearing symbolic blue caps created a striking visual tribute to the fight against prostate cancer.
Through collective support and contributions, the event raised over RM700,000, which will go to the University Malaya Urological Cancer Trust Fund (UCTF). The funds will be channelled towards advancing prostate cancer research, improving patient care, and expanding awareness programmes.
Zaleha Mohd Mydin, Chief Executive Officer of Yayasan MR D.I.Y., expressed her gratitude for the strong turnout and impact, saying:
“We are truly elated at the overwhelming response to Yayasan MR D.I.Y.’s maiden involvement in the Blue Cap Run. Today’s event is a celebration of life, courage, and compassion, especially for cancer survivors. Our partnership with Universiti Malaya reflects our ongoing commitment to health-related causes that touch the lives of Malaysians.”
The event concluded with a prize-giving ceremony, where winners received cash vouchers and trophies. Lucky draw prizes also added to the festivities, but the true victory belonged to everyone who ran not just for themselves, but in solidarity with cancer survivors.
The success of Blue Cap Run 2025 reflects the power of collaboration between the private sector, academia, and the community, demonstrating how collective action can drive awareness, empathy, and change across the nation. It stands as a powerful reminder of the event’s mission: to beat prostate cancer.
