“We are committed to donating all profits from this Run For Hope event to the Indonesian Cancer Foundation DIY Branch. This is a form of encouragement for those who are battling cancer,” said Ridwan.  

The collaboration with Tip Tap Toe, Garrya Bianti's sister company, is a form of synergy to enliven the event.
