Championing a cause close to her heart, Puan Nori Tun Abdullah officially launched the campaign with local personalities Nadia Heng, Yvonne Lee, Isabella Wong and the Under Armour Malaysia Brand Athletes.

At the event, Puan Nori Tun Abdullah said

“The recent National Sports Day initiative has indeed seen Malaysians starting to become more conscious about their health. As such, they seek fresh, new ways to incorporate fitness into their daily lives. Recognizing this need, the Women of Will campaign promotes healthy living with the message that staying healthy is a long term investment. At the same time, the campaign also champions the Pink Ribbon cause in support of breast cancer survivors.”

In conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness month, Under Armour has pledged to donate 10% of all proceeds from its Power in Pink range for the entire month of October to its charity partner, the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA). In addition to proceeds benefiting BCWA, Under Armour has also set up donation boxes at all Brand Houses to be used at the discretion of patrons.

“Some years ago, when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, it was the most testing of times. Losing her to the disease was even more difficult to handle. It cannot be stressed how crucial awareness and early detection are in preventing this avertible disease. Being conscious of your own physical body, self-examination and a good quality of overall fitness are all simple methods we can adopt in our lives. It is certainly encouraging that events like these spread awareness. With Under Armour, we hope to bring the Will to the Women!” continued Puan Nori Tun Abdullah.
