My Story
Nearly all of us have been touched directly or indirectly by cancer. According to the Ministry of Health, cancer is the Number 1 Killer in Singapore.
As of 2012:
- 1 in 3 Singaporeans die of cancer
- 33 people are diagnosed with cancer every day
- 14 people die from cancer every day
What Did We Do?
On Sunday, 26 April 2015, our team of riders rode around Singapore on their bikes (115km; 60km) to raise funds for the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS).
Established in 1964, Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) is a community-based voluntary health organisation dedicated to minimising the impact of cancer through public education, screening, patient services, financial assistance, research and advocacy.

In addition, we also hope to raise awareness on the importance of exercise. According to the National Cancer Institute, people who exercise regularly have a 40% to 50% lower risk of colon cancer, compared with those who do not exercise regularly.
