About Campaign

SDSC recognises that “Disability must NEVER Disqualify” and strives to provide sports programmes for all disability groups, regardless of the severity to play. Due to their severity, some athletes need special adaptations to their equipment in order to perform. Your donations can provide para-athletes with appropriate sports equipment, which is important for sportspersons.

Toh Sze Ning is a Boccia player who was born with Cerebral Palsy, a condition where nerves are not connected properly to other parts of the body. It has affected her ability to sit and lift things. Despite this, Sze Ning plays her sport with an aid of a pointer that is attached to a helmet. The slight tilt of the head propels the ball and sets the game in motion. Her helmet has seen her win a gold medal for notable competitions like the 2014 Boccia World Open in Montreal, Canada, and the 7th ASEAN Para Games in Myanmar. Your help can enable athletes like Sze Ning to be better equipped for their sport.
