Having several friends affected by cancer I am always keen to get involved fundraising in any way I can. Today, Dan and I completed the Singapore Race Against Cancer 10km run.
"Singapore Cancer Society Race Against Cancer (RAC) 2017 is a race to save lives. Organised by Singapore Cancer Society (SCS), the race aims to raise funds for cancer treatment subsidies, welfare assistance, cancer rehabilitation, hospice care, cancer screenings, research, public education and cancer support group initiatives. Funds raised will help to drive SCS Programmes and Services such as the SCS Cancer Care Fund, SCS Cancer Rehabilitation Centre, SCS Cancer Treatment Fund, SCS Help the Children and Youth Programme and the SCS Welfare Aid. Taking place for the 9th year since 2009, RAC exists to make our statement against cancer, to minimise cancer and maximise life. No one should fight cancer alone - this event invites people of all walks of life to join in the fight and run alongside those who are impacted by cancer."
It's been a while since I have done a 10km run. Back in 2013 I started running regularly, but due to work commitments and holidays recently I don't run as much as I should!
It was a great day on the East Coast. A little hotter than we would have liked, but there was a great atmosphere and we're really proud of our achievement. I sill have no desire to run further than 10km, so you won't see me signing up for any marathons anytime soon, but I will be doing more runs from now on.
