RUN FOR HOPE 2009

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Run For Hope (RFH) is an annual charity event organized by Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, The Regent Singapore and the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) to raise much-needed funds for cancer research.

In the last 16 years, over S$3.2 million has been raised. What started as a small event with 300 runners, has grown steadily throughout the years. Reputed to be the single longest running event in support of cancer research in Singapore, RFH has seen over 80,000 runners since 1993!

The NCC Research Fund (NCCRF) is the flagship fundraising and grant-making channel of NCCS for an array of basic, translational and clinical research programmes. Administered by the NCC Foundation, NCCRF fulfills two funding objectives – Seeding and Bridging. Seeding funds to facilities emerging projects in cancer research and Bridging funds to ensure a sustainable productive momentum essential for ongoing research.

Last year, more than S$330,000 was raised in benefit of lung cancer. Lung cancer patients will now benefit from a new bronchoscope technology that detects the disease at an earlier stage, which will dramatically improve the success of treatment.
