The charity run that reinforces the bond between human and animals, the Light Up Your Life Run is organised by SOSD and Assisi Hospice to raise funds for both charities. Held on 3 October 2015 at East Coast Park, the evening event features various lighting themes and fun-filled activities for all ages.
Non-competitive and opened to the public, the Light Up Your Life Run include categories such as the individual 5km and 10km run, as well as the 2km dog walk (dog accompanied by owner). Every participant will receive a goodie bag worth up to SGD250, comprising a limited edition event T-shirt, a bottle of vitamins, pet food from Wellness, energy bar and vouchers from other sponsors.
Besides the run, there will also be a mini carnival that will feature various stalls and family activities at the event site.
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”.
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.
