Story
We are The Power Puffs: Alex Lim, Lilian Ting and Krystle Yau from Standard Chartered's Legal team and Marc Ong from our SC's Stressed Assets Group in Singapore. We decided to join forces to cheer each other on and fundraise for Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, details of the programme are below.
We have set a target of walking/running an aggregate of 40 to 80 km or more each over the period 1 March to 14 April.
So thank you in advance for any contribution to the cause!
Watch this space.
Update 12 April 2023: Thank you all for your generous contributions. We appreciate all the help we can get for Futuremakers.
I have ran 84.63km from 6 March up to now. I have also walked 87.85km from 1 to 5 March. I can confirm that this is more walking and running I have ever done in this timeframe.
My fellow teammates are also outperforming our team's goals. Alex has ran/walked a total of 92.55km and Lilian has ran a whopping total of 184.78km
Your support is definitely driving us to continue running!
Futuremakers by Standard Chartered
In 2022, over 2200 Standard Chartered employees round the globe walked and ran miles everyday for a month to raise over USD 230,000 for Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, a global initiative to empower young people to learn, earn and grow.
This year, Standard Chartered employees want to beat last year's record and will aim to walk, run, cycle and swim to raise funds for the fantastic global programme that supports areas of education, employability and entrepreneurship for underserved young people from low-income households.
The Bank's employees are invited to take up the challenge individually or in a team to complete an aggregated long distance walk, run, cycle or swim 20 km or more, during the open period.
Participants can invite colleagues, family and friends to support and donate to support Futuremakers, through the Standard Chartered Foundation
