We are a bunch of adventure-loving folks from Raleigh Singapore, a registered society of volunteers dedicated to paying it forward through adventure. We have either gone overseas on expeditions or organised local projects like our flagship Let's Take A Walk, a long-distance endurance walking event.Suffice to say, we're all experiencing cabin fever due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are itching to climb a mountain, swim in a lake, or even dig a trench or plant a tree. So when we heard about Care Corner's 40 Days of Care campaign we thought it would be a perfect way for us to "pay it forward" by swimming, running, hiking, cycling or paddling! We hope our small actions can motivate our friends and family to donate towards the cause. We are aiming to raise $4,000 to help Care Corner provide youths with 12-month travel concession passes. We have set ourselves the challenge of completing 5 sports between 2 August and 10 September. Here's our target mileage!

Meet Eddie* Eddie (16) was on Care Corner Youth Services’ school soccer programme. After his parents divorced, Eddie’s split living arrangement had him shuttle between two homes during the week. On one occasion, he turned up late for soccer. Due to insufficient money in his EZ-link card, he made a detour to a relative’s home to borrow some coins to make it for the session. To return home, he approached Care Corner quietly to borrow some coins. Youths like Eddie often need to borrow money to commute or scrimp on their allowance. Struggling to commute to school, enrichment programmes or leisure activities impact their morale and growth. You can help sponsor travel concession passes for youths like Eddie.
