All of us know the feeling.
The rush of wind against your face. The sound of shoes pounding the tarmac. The exhilaration of completing a race.
This year, don’t just run for personal fulfillment at the SCSM 06. Why not GO THE EXTRA MILE and get more out of your run?

If you are running in SCSM 06, why not GO THE EXTRA MILE and raise funds for a charitable cause?

Help HWA GO THE EXTRA MILE for the physically disabled by helping them enhancing their lives and enabling them to integrate into society.

GO THE EXTRA MILE for HWA. It’s Fund Raising & Fun Racing!

About HWA

HWA provides transport, rehabilitation, welfare and education programmes for people with physical disabilities, to facilitate their integration into society. It also conducts public education programmes such as talks and exhibitions in schools and organizations to promote awareness. More information on HWA is available here

The Target

We need to mobilise 250 runners participating in SCSM 2006 to raise funds for HWA. Each person counts…ask your friends, family, relatives, neighbours, colleagues and kakis to join in the run and raise funds!

Target amount: at least SG$50 000

How this fund-raising will be done

After consultation with HWA, the following fund-raising methods will be used:

1) Pledge Cards

This will allow runners to get lump sum donations (e.g. $5, $10, $50 etc) from people willing to contribute to HWA. Donations can also be based on the distance covered by the runner (e.g. sponsor to donate $XYZ for every kilometer run during SCSM 06). Therefore, the further you run, the more money you can raise for charity!

2) Appeal Letters

This letter will allow fund-raisers to seek bigger lump sum donations from donors who prefer a more personalised touch.

Participants from any of the running categories (full marathon, half marathon, 10km etc) are welcome.

Incentives

All participants running for HWA will receive a special HWA runner’s pack! Negotiations are currently underway to secure sponsorship for a t-shirt and other goodies for the pack.

The Singapore Sports Council has agreed to provide a discounted registration fee of $50 per head for those who run under this initiative. However it is recommended that you use any special discounts or early bird offers to sign up first because these prices may be better than the $50 flat rate offered.

1 in 5 cancers occurring in Singaporean women is breast cancer.
3 women are being diagnosed with breast cancer each day.
About 270 women die from the disease each year.
1 in 20 women in Singapore will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime

But this year, you can make a difference and close the gap between the living and the dead. Come and Run For a Cause, to run the Standard Chartered Marathon 2006 to raise funds and bring hope to breast cancer patients.

The BCF-Standard Chartered Run For A Cause is an initiative to raise S$150,000 towards promoting breast cancer awareness, cancer screening programmes and providing support for women affected by breast cancer.

All we need are 500 runners who will each raise a minimum of S$300 using a Run for a Cause pledge card. As an incentive, Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon and Standard Chartered Bank will pay for your registration fee and give you a limited edition Run for a Cause T-shirt! Any distance is encouraged and every dollar raised will go a long way in helping BCF in their cause.

To register or enquire, you can kindly contact Christine at 6352 6560 or email her at christine@bcf.org.sg

Its no longer about running for yourself. Its about making a difference this time, between the living and the dead. Come and have a heart of compassion for a world without vision. Run to bring hope to cancer patients.
