Apichit JinakulRock star Artiwara "Toon" Kongmalai Sunday handed over to 11 hospitals the first slice of the 1.3 billion baht proceeds he raised during his 2,215km charity run across the country last year. The 11 hospitals are Yala Hospital, Surat Thani Hospital, Ratchaburi Hospital, Chaophrayayommarat Hospital in Suphan Buri, Saraburi Hospital, Khon Kaen Hospital, Chaopraya Abhaiphubejhr Hospital in Prachin Buri, Chiang Rai Prachanukroh Hospital, Nakornping Hospital in Chiang Mai, Nan Hospital, and Phramongkutklao Hospital in Bangkok. Mr Chaicharn said it was an initiative of the rock singer who wanted to provide an opportunity for those who missed the 2,215km charity run to join in. The main run from Yala to Chiang Rai started on Nov 1 last year and concluded on Dec 25 last year. Hospital executives met the project manager to discuss how money would be allocated.
