Hello everyone,
I will be running 10 km in the Run for Hope on 17 February 2019.
Run for Hope is an annual run organised by the National Cancer Centre (NCC) Singapore and the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore to raise awareness and funds to support cancer research.
You will find more information here: https://www.runforhope.sg/about/what-is-run-for-hope/
The funds raised will go to the NCC Research Fund. Progressive breakthroughs are being made towards a cure for cancer, but the fight continues for a cancer free tomorrow.

Between 2011 to 2015, more than 64,300 Singaporeans were diagnosed with cancer, out of which 48.6% were men and 51.4% were women. The statistic is alarming and cancer incidences will continue to rise by 5% year-on-year as reported by the Singapore Cancer Registry. With so many in our community being affected by cancer, there is an urgent need to find a cure for this disease.
Support from each of you is vital to helping National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) make advancements in cancer research.

NCCS and Four Seasons Hotel Singapore will partner once again to host Run for Hope, an annual mega run for cancer awareness and research. We hope to have our loyal supporters and runners join us once again at this event to send a unified message that cancer cannot be beaten alone, it needs a community! Net proceeds raised from this event will be directed towards cancer research at NCCS whose doctors and researchers are working hard to find a cure.

If your are unable to participate in Run for Hope but would like to support cancer research, we invite you to make a gift through Giving.sg today! Every dollar will help NCCS move one step closer to winning the war against cancer.

Established in 2005, the NCC Research Fund supports innovative research to find the breakthroughs that will change how we understand, diagnose, treat and ultimately cure cancer.

With cancer research and care under one roof at the National Cancer Centre Singapore, the knowledge gained from patient-centric research fuels advancement in clinical care, which in turn provides knowledge that drives research. We firmly believe that today's research will pave the way for tomorrow's cure for cancer.
