SPEECH BY SINGAPORE CANCER SOCIETY (SCS) COUNCIL MEMBER, MR. MAK HOE KIT, AT ZEPHYR RC ANNUAL DINNER ON 18 JAN 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow runners, good evening.
1. I am honoured to be here tonight at Zephyr Running Club’s (RC) annual dinner. I’d like to extend my gratitude to Zephyr RC for their unwavering support and partnership with the Singapore Cancer Society over the years.
Your enthusiasm and dedication to our cause are truly inspiring, particularly in your participation in the Singapore Cancer Society – TalkMed Relay For Life. Your club members’ energy and commitment to the 100km overnight relay run are a testament to your passion for making a difference.
Relay For Life, founded by the American Cancer Society in 1985, has raised nearly $5 billion globally in the fight against cancer. This event is a powerful opportunity for us to Celebrate the courage of survivors, Remember those we have lost, and Fight Back against cancer.
I’d like to extend an invitation to everyone to join us for the SCS- TalkMed Relay For Life 2025 on 8-9 March 2025 at the National Stadium. This 15-hour overnight 100km physical relay is a symbolic reminder that cancer never sleeps, and together, we can provide support for those impacted by cancer. If you can’t join us physically, please consider our virtual challenge.
Let’s come together to make a difference. Thank you, Zephyr Running Club, for your continued support your presence underscores our shared commitment to making a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer. Together we can Minimise Cancer and Maximise lives.
