Our Campaign Story

ends 30 Jul 2021, 11:59 PM

We are running to raise funds for Assisi Hospice who provide care and dignity for those that are at the end of life.

The Straits Clan runners are coming together to clock distance and raise funds so donate to your comfort!

About Campaign

Nurses often "walk the extra mile" for patients. To care for patients with terminal illness, an Assisi nurse has to walk 12km per day. Show your appreciation to nurses by walking or running! For every 100km covered, a $100 voucher which can be redeemed for shoes will be gifted to 1 Assisi nurse by adidas Singapore.

Our goal is to cover a total of 15,000km so that all 150 Assisi nurses will receive a $100 voucher from adidas Singapore for Nurses Day 2021. Sign up for the race at this website: https://web.42race.com/race-bundle/iracefornurses

Funds raised via this campaign goes towards helping our patients obtain the medical care they require. 52% of our patients are poorest of the poor and are means tested to the lowest income level.

About The Charity

Journey with us to support our needy patients with terminal illness and their caregivers. Assisi Hospice provides palliative care for patients and families that preserves their dignity and quality of life. Patients of any race, faith and financial position are cared for by our team of specialist doctors, nurses, allied health and pastoral care professionals. When faced with life limiting illnesses, our patients receive medical care, as well as psychosocial, emotional and spiritual care.

We provide care for patients across the continuum of Home Care, Inpatient and Day Care. This allows patients and family members to journey with a clinical team they are familiar with, and to receive care in the way that they need. Our six-storey purpose-built hospice provides a homely ambience with cosy spaces for patients and their loved ones. With 85 Inpatient beds, including specialised wards for Dementia Palliative Care and Paediatric Palliative Care, a Day Care Centre and the outreach of our Home Care team, we serve more than 2,000 patients a year.

Founded in 1969 by the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood (FMDM), we are a charity supported by donors, volunteers and corporate organisations who journey with us in our cause.
