About Campaign
ends 31 Dec 2019, 11:59 PMRelay Majulah is a ground-up initiative to form a 200-runners team to conquer 2,000km over 200 hours (2-10 Nov 2019) to raise funds for President's Challenge and its 67 supported charities; and to commemorate Singapore's 200 years. It also aims to unite the community, for the community; and tell the inspiring stories of people with indomitable spirit, who live life to the full and live life without limits.
Growing up, I was an only child in a single parent environment. I was never academically inclined and hence, did not fare well in my exams. But that helped me reconfigure my thoughts to cherish what I had around me and use what strengths I had to make the best out of the situation. After I learnt to do that, even if I found myself at the bottom of the pits, the thought that was running through my mind was, "The only way left is up".
Running has always brought joy to me as a person, but being able to put myself out there to run for others or so others can run has always been my dream. I used to run to achieve my personal best timings, but now I run for the community and inclusion.
I am honoured to play my small part in Relay Majulah to raise funds for President's Challenge and be surrounded by inspirational people who are running for the same cause. My challenge for this event is to let everyone around me know that no matter how flawed or imperfect you are, you can still make a difference in other people's lives.
About the Charity
The President's Challenge started in 2000 and represents a coming together of people from all walks of life, under the President's patronage, to help those who are less fortunate. It is the President's call to all Singaporeans to do their part to build a more caring and cohesive society.
While fundraising continues to be at the heart of President's Challenge, the campaign has gone beyond the giving of money to the giving of time, skills and talent for the less fortunate. President now seeks to play a bigger role in nurturing stronger communities by expanding support for programmes beyond the social service sector and to encourage the young and elderly population to be involved in community work.
Under the leadership of President Halimah Yacob, President's Challenge is looking into more customised and upstream support to help the most vulnerable change their circumstances through skills upgrading, capacity building and empowerment.
