Training Smart with a Caring Heart

by Steven Quek for HCA HOSPICE CARE

As we pursue personal interests and challenges, let's also remember the less fortunate in our midst. This book - "Training Smart" - shares my experience acquired over 30 years in training endurance athletes. While it has been an enjoyable and meaningful pursuit for me, I hope to help bring joy and care to people facing life-limiting illnesses. In this regard, I would like to invite you to join me in this journey. Please donate $30 (or more) to HCA Hospice Care, an organisation into its 30th year of community service, and join my "Training Smart with a Caring Heart" initiative. You will receive a copy of the publication for your donation and your donation will go a long way to helping its beneficiaries and their family! Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Steven Quek (Please refer to the Training Smart with a Caring Heart FB page for details on book collection. All cash donations are entitled to 2.5 times tax deduction.)

by Animal Lovers League

Dear ALL Supporters, Our gratitude to you for faithfully following us all these years and your generosity to our rescued animals without which we wouldn't be. We would not have had to appeal for help repeatedly if we have had the hardness of hearts to euthanise the old and sick ones but we couldn't and could only hope and pray you will continue to support our "No-Kill" Policy. We are providing refuge and a second chance to many of them for they have no place in our society and environment for reasons aplenty. Animal Lovers League Shelter will not cease to exist with your continued support. Please continue to support us through this journey to let them have their right to live.

Amputee Support Group Fundraising

by Davina Koh for TTSH Community Fund

Founded in 2010, the Amputee Support Group (ASG) is a collaboration between the Ang Mo Kio-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital Care and Counselling Department, and Tan Tock Seng Hospital Rehabilitation Centre. ASG is funded by the TTSH Community Fund, and helps persons with amputation maintain a social support network by addressing their psychosocial needs and reduce social isolation. Our members come from different walks of life with different stories to share, with many having experienced social isolation. The ASG meets monthly to conduct educational sessions, covering topics such as anger management to maintenance of artificial limbs. We also organise outings to benefit the mental and physical well-being of our members. These activities help them reintegrate to the community by boosting their confidence and gaining public acceptance. We truly believe that our members have more abilities than disabilities. Each donation of $20 and/or above, entitles donors to one tote bag*. These tote bags are customised with the ASG logo and words of inspiration contributed by members. Through these bags, we hope to create public awareness of the presence of ASG and a sense of solidarity amongst our members. *each donation transaction of $20 and/or above would entitle donors to 1 bag (only), while stocks last.

Row For Hope 2019

by NCCS Cancer Fund

The National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) is delighted to partner the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Singapore to hold the NCCS Row For Hope Boat Races on 8 June 2019 to raise awareness and funds to benefit cancer care and survivorship of those affected by cancer. The Boat Race is a set of annual rowing races between the Oxford University Boat Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club, rowed on the River Thames in London, England. Following this long-held tradition, the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Singapore held its third boat race at the Marina Bay in March last year (the first was held in 1997). This year, they have chosen to partner with NCCS once again as a show of their support for the fight against cancer. Cancer is still the No. 1 killer in Singapore, accounting for 30% of all deaths in 2014. This is 5 times more than deaths caused by accidents, violence and poisoning put together. Last year, NCCS attended to more than 154,000 patient-visits and treated close to 70% of cancer cases in the public sector. The cost of cancer treatment has also increased significantly. We are raising funds through this event in aid of improvements in cancer care and survivorship programmes for better treatment outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. Join us in supporting this meaningful cause!
