Advertlets Philantrophy Update: New Design for Yvonne Foong, Yvonne’s Book Launch
We’ve recently launched a quick new site design for YvonneFoong.com, with a more informative header and with more prominent calls to action to help people know about her cause better, and lend a hand. Over the next few weeks, we will be implementing further design changes across the site, to communicate the site and her objectives more clearly.
For those of you that do not know, Yvonne Foong is one of the beneficiaries of Advertlets Philantrophy, our program to help worthy causes. Yvonne Foong was only 16 years old when doctors diagnosed her with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis Type 2. Curious schoolteachers and friends could only observe, as the former ballet dancer, figure skater, karate fighter and Soprano in the school choir suffered sudden health deteriorations that robbed her of her bodily capabilities.
She has tumours in her brain and spine, and as a result, she occasionally has difficulty balancing, cannot hear, and suffers the risk of going blind. Despite all that, she has managed to write a book, win the Dream Malaysia awards for Most Outstanding Youth Of The Year, as well as running her own successful HEART4HOPE program to help raise funds for medical expenses. So far, we at Advertlets have helped to create a design identity for the site, a new header, and are going to launch a philantrophic advertising initiative across our network, where remnant ad space is used to promote Yvonne’s cause.
