Choice To Run 2018

Choice To Run has become an annual charity event organised by the Ambassadors. This year, we were joined by HVMC and PSP to create a bigger impact. At around 8am on 29 September, people started to gather at the Sports Hall. With the sun shining brightly outside, everyone was energised by Mrs Tan’s Opening Speech and Mr Patterson’s fun warm up session with the “Baby Shark” dance.

We started on a high note and everyone ran as hard as they could despite the sweltering heat, knowing very well that each step they made would add up to the donation that they can collect for Children’s Cancer Foundation. Besides the run, there were game booths, including combat style laser tag games and a dunking booth.

There were plenty of captivating performances to watch, from school talents, Sara, Nikita and our local K-Pop group, Eloquence. Furthermore, there were performances byexternal talents such as Elaine Chan, Zueol Leo and Vanessa.

Last but not least, it was time for the long awaited colour fiesta – a frenzy of colours and laughter! Everyone was throwing colour powder at anybody they knew and was having a wonderful time, leaving behind beautiful coloured patterns on their clothing, showing the theme for this year’s run “Colours of Life”.

The event was an exhilarating and joyous occasion. Even during one of the most stressful periods of the year, people from all walks of life still found a moment to run for a good cause and found some form of relaxation and fun. And the most important of all, we raised $19,815. Special mention on Mr Francis Bell who won the Fastest Runner Award, and Michael Buchanan and Thanakhom Hoontrakul who both won Top Fundraiser Award, each raising $3,000 and $3,500 respectively.

Till we run again.
