Over the next 40 days I'll be attempting to hit the Singapore pavements and run a total of 125km to raise SGD 1,500 (upped from initial target of SGD 750) for the Standard Chartered Foundation (no small feat considering I currently average around 6km a week...). All donations raised will make a huge difference to the lives of young people by helping the youth to gain skills to support themselves and their communities.

The Standard Chartered Foundation focuses on tackling inequality. It promotes greater economic inclusion for disadvantaged young people from low-income households, particularly girls, women and people with visual impairments, providing opportunities to make a better future for themselves and their families. The Standard Chartered Foundation is the lead delivery partner for Futuremakers by Standard Chartered and fund programmes in the areas of education, employability, entrepreneurship and eye health.
