Run epitomises SOSD’s vision of promoting positive interaction between humans and animals
Explained Dr Siew Tuck Wah, President of SOSD, “The Light Up Your Life Charity Run epitomises SOSD’s vision of promoting positive interaction between humans and animals. We have expanded our involvement in the community through our Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) programme and are pleased to partner with Assisi Hospice to launch this innovative event to bring kindness and hope to the less fortunate – for both animals and humans alike.”
Invites the community to run to support palliative care
Added A/Prof Premanrani Kannusamy, CEO, Assisi Hospice, “Our patients with life- limiting illnesses receive care not only from our staff – they are also cheered by others, including the team from SOSD’s AAA programme. This charity run invites the community to understand and support palliative care. Life is like a run – so let’s help them finish the race well”.
Funds raised will go towards the operating expenses for both charities
The funds raised from this event will go towards the operating expenses for both charities and supporting SOSD in implementing more community-focused initiatives such as the AAA programme that will benefit both people and animals and increase social awareness.
The Light Up Your Life run is open for registration starting today via their race website, http://www.lightupyourliferun.com/
