SCS Hopes to raise awareness of cancer and their services

Through this race, the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) hopes to raise awareness of cancer and the services for cancer patients and survivors.

The SCS hopes to increase awareness of their services such as the provision of financial aid to needy cancer patients and treatment subsidies, free cancer screenings, hospice care for terminally ill cancer patients and rehabilitation support for recovering cancer patients and survivors.
