8 years ago, Metta Welfare Association organised its very first Metta Charity Run.
The event started with just 800 participants, held at East Coast Park. Corporate partners, volunteers and hundreds of passionate individuals came together in pioneering Metta's very first sports fundraising event.
Since then, the Run has evolved to over 1500 participants with more than $100,000 raised. All proceeds helped to fund for the development and enrichment of Metta's disability care, medical care, special education and early intervention programmes. Metta provides aid to over 1000 beneficiaries of all ages - children, adults, the elderly and the terminally ill - and transcends race and religious groups.
Metta Charity Run only has one mission:
- Get Fit and Leave your Philanthropic Footprints Behind!
This year, Metta Charity Run returns with a Singaporean edition. Just like how Singlish has been called out for being a strange language and is disparaged by others, beneficiaries probably experience the same marginalization for being "different". Thus, Singaporean-themed Run hopes to celebrate the differences in community and spur the spirit of an inclusive society where no one is left behind.
