WHPCD 2024: Meaningful Miles

This October, Support Palliative Care Advocacy One Step at a Time!

Every year, World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) is opportunity to advocate for People Living with Palliative Care Needs (PLWPCNs). This year, WHPCD will be on Saturday 12 October 2024.

As part of our efforts to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world, we are organising our annual fundraising event: Meaningful Miles, where individuals or teams are encouraged to fundraise while carrying out the pledged distance of their chosen activity (e.g running, cycling, hiking or an activity of your choice) from the month of October until December:

Register and start your fundraising campaign from 5 September 2024 onwards. You can donate directly or encourage your friends and family to help you reach your fundraising goal until 31 December 2024.

The race period runs from 1 Oct -31 Dec 2024. Be sure to complete your challenge by 31 Dec 2024, 23:59 SGT.

Exciting Prizes for Our Top Fundraisers!

The top 3 fundraisers for the Meaningful Miles campaign will each receive a SGD200 Amazon gift card!

Whether you’re fundraising solo or as part of a team, only one gift card will be awarded to each top spot. Team efforts count as one, so gather your supporters and aim high!

Take note, to be eligible for the prize, you’ll need to raise at least SGD500—so let’s get fundraising for a great cause!
