Dear friends and colleagues,

I will be participating in the Standard Chartered Marathon on the 4th of December. And like I did for the Army Half-Marathon, I would like to use this Marathon to fundraise for the needy patients under TTSH Community Fund.

This is the first time I am attempting a full marathon, your support will mean the world to me. Every dollar you donate will go directly to funding the charity's activities. I ask that you donate generously. Help me make this run more meaningful.

For the amount we spend on a night out having drinks, or a dinner at a fancy restaurant, or a meal we order through deliveroo, or even just the amount we spend on uber because we wake up late, a needy patient can get the aid s/he needs on their road to recovery.

Help me help them.

Thank you!

In keeping with Mr Tan Tock Seng's Legacy of Giving, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) set up its charity arm, TTSH Community Fund, in August 1995 to improve the quality of life of our patients and the community. Our Charity turns 25 in 2020, this is made possible with the community's effort and continuous support.

Today, our Charity runs more than 100 patient-centred programmes, disbursing more than $2 million each year for the Charity's activities. We support over 2,500 needy patient cases, especially the elderly and those who fall through the cracks of the system, and those who are unable to receive help from traditional charitable agencies.

From expensive non-standard medication and breathing equipment to mobility aids, community rehabilitation programmes, and even dentures to help them eat better, TTSH Community Fund helps needy patients to gain greater independence, improve their quality of life and enable them to integrate back into the community. The Fund also supports healthcare research, innovation, and training for our staff and the community to deliver better patient care.

Our Charity runs entirely on public donations. Every dollar to the Charity goes directly to support our activities. The TTSH Community Fund is a registered charity with IPC status.
