Reach for the Stars: A 230km Ultramarathon in Support of 230 Underprivileged Children and Youths

Every child deserves a chance in life, regardless of their background. The children and youths we are supporting come from families facing significant challenges—parents who are incarcerated or reintegrating into society. Despite these hardships, they are full of potential and have dreams just like any other young person. With your support, we can help them unlock that potential and provide the opportunities they deserve.

The funds raised will go directly to empowering 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, our aim is to offer the foundation they require to build a brighter future.

Each child and youth will have a dedicated case manager, ensuring that they receive personalised attention, with programmes specifically designed to meet their unique needs. This individualised care creates a strong, supportive network that guides them towards their goals and prevent intergenerational offending.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on these young lives and give them the chance to thrive. By investing in their future, we invest in a better, more compassionate society for all.
