“Inspired by one of our own, Emily Lola Tan, and her fight against Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Viva Vertical will be hosting an Open Day to raise awareness of a very important issue that has hit close to our hearts.

On the 8th of September, Viva Vertical will host pole and aerial group fitness classes that are open to newbies and members alike. A small bazaar with food and products will also be set up.

Most importantly, we will be working together with the Malaysian Stem Cell Registry to collect samples from volunteer donors. Not only can you be tested as a possible stem cell donor for Emily, but your details will also be added to the registry where you might be able to save a life one day and help countless others who love them. We hope to carry out 100 donor tests on this day, and we need your help to do that! SHARE THIS, INVITE YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, TURN UP!
