Fund Raising for charity has always been something close to my heart. I was lucky enough to be given an opportunity to take part in this meaningful exercise with Singapore Cancer Society.
Through this programme, I have learnt that Singaporeans are still generous in such bad economy situation. Reaching out to save cancer striken people especially of low income families is really heart warming.
Who would have thought that in Singapore alone, 13 people die from cancer every freaking day? That's like 1 death on an average of 2 hours. Alarming number isn't it?
|Hence, public education is very important. Through having volunteers and fund raisers sent out to streets or located venues to help raise awareness and raise funds to help the needy patients is not an easy task. Armed with just a smile and a sincere heart to help these group of people, any person who stops for them is a chance for the cancer patients to recover and live life.
Singapore Cancer Society not only require funds to help service the programmes of financial assistnace and welfare support. They also have part of their funds channel to cancer research, well its a known fact that there are still cancer viruses that still do not have any cure. Medical costs ain't cheap either. Therefore, Cancer Society really requires as much funds to be raised as possible.
So people, if you see any of the kind souls out there raising funds for Singapore Cancer Society. Please stop and give them a chance to share the information and it would of course be appreciated if you are able to lend a helping hand for these cancer striken people.
I know there are kind souls out there!
