A crowd of more than 1,500 was present at the SPD Ability Walk 2017 this morning to show their support for the inclusion of people with disabilities. Mr Desmond Lee, Second Minister for Home Affairs and National Development, flagged off the 3km leisure walk at the Chinese Garden at 8am. One of the main highlights of the walk was an activity that saw participants walking a distance of about 200m with a leg tied to a partner, and walking assisted while blindfolded through a 200m course. These challenges aimed to help participants to learn a bit more about the difficulties that people with disabilities face daily.

Golfers at Raffles County Club last Friday afternoon wondered about the 40 blue and red tubs surrounding Hole 2 of the golf course. They were even more surprised to see a hole more than double the size of a normal one at Hole 18 which they were told to putt using just one hand. These were among a multitude of novelty challenges that the golfers took on to raise funds for people with disabilities at SPD’s second charity golf tournament.
Close to 20 beneficiaries of SPD, an organisation that helps people with disabilities, performed alongside more than 30 popular local and foreign artistes in a show of inclusion to raise $4.13 million so far at the SPD Charity Show 2017 telecast ‘live’ over MediaCorp Channel 8 last night. The amount includes $58,000 that was collected at the show’s outdoor segment where shoppers at nex shopping mall made donations for a taste of cuisines prepared by Singapore’s celebrity chefs Eric Teo, Heman Tan, Pung Lu Tin and Charlie Tham. The amount raised exceeded the $3.8 million target that was set for the show.
