Reach for the Stars: A 230km Ultramarathon in Support of 230 Underprivileged Children and Youths
Tze Boon, alongside Loris Massimini from Pietrasanta and La Pizzaiola, has successfully completed the GlobalLimits Uzbekistan—a challenging 230km, 6-stage ultramarathon across the ancient Silk Road, to raise funds to support 230 underprivileged children and youths whose families face immense challenges, including incarceration and reintegration.
Through NeuGen Fund, the amount raised will empower 230 children and youths by providing access to vital programmes that support their academic success, promote mental well-being, and nurture their overall development. By fostering stronger family bonds and offering tailored services, these young individuals will be equipped with the tools and guidance needed to thrive—breaking cycles of hardship and building a better future.
We thank our donors for their support in making a more compassionate society. The campaign raised a total of $408,166, inclusive of in-principle matching grant by Singapore’s Tote Board.
