The [SOSD](http://sosd.org.sg/) and [Assisi Hospice](http://www.assisihospice.org.sg/) is organizing a unique charity run on 3rd October 2015, at the East Coast Park to raise funds for both organisations. Titled the ‘Light Up Your Life Run’, this distinctive evening event features various lighting themes and fun-filled activities for all ages.
The non-competitive event is opened to the public. Categories for participation include the individual 5 km and 10 km run, as well as the 2 km dog walk (dog accompanied by owner). Every participant will receive a goodie bag worth up to S$250, including a limited edition event T-shirt, a bottle of vitamins, pet food from Wellness, energy bar and vouchers from our generous sponsors such as Delifrance and Renault.
Dr Siew Tuck Wah, President of SOSD said, ‘The Light Up Your Life Charity Run epitomizes 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.’
A/Prof Premanrani Kannusamy, CEO, Assisi Hospice said ‘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, let’s help them finish the race well’.
Participants and members of the public can also enjoy activities on the sidelines of the charity run, including a mini-carnival that will feature various stalls and family activities at the event site. Details on the mini-carnival will be available. 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.
The event will take place on Saturday 3 October from 5pm onwards at East Coast Park.
