What is Let’s Take A Walk all about?

Let’s Take A Walk is an iconic overnight 100km charity walk, they are returning this year, with Ray of Hope as the chosen beneficiary. Ray of Hope is Singapore’s crowdfunding charity, dedicated to mobilising community resources and support for individuals and families in need.

Let’s Take A Walk is a community-driven initiative led by Raleigh Singapore, an organisation dedicated to making a positive impact through action. Through this annual charity walk event that is fully organised by volunteers, Let’s Take A Walk raises funds for various causes and promotes inclusivity and community spirit.

A Step Towards Inclusivity 

For Let’s Take A Walk 2023, they are taking a step towards inclusivity by introducing the 5km FamilyWalk. This is a specially designed route that is ramp-accessible, creating an opportunity for families and differently-abled individuals to join hands in the spirit of giving back. 

Adrian Chew, the co-chairman of Let’s Take A Walk 2023, said “I started my journey as a volunteer with Let’s Take A Walk 2013 and have continued to participate as both a volunteer and a walker ever since. The spirit of giving back to those in need deeply resonates with me, as some of the closest people to me have faced challenging times.”

Let’s Take A Walk 2023 Targets 

The primary goal for this year is to unite 2,000 walkers, doubling last year’s target of 1,000 participants, in a unified effort to raise $100,000, less operating costs, for Ray of Hope.

Ray of Hope goes beyond fundraising; they also offer crucial social support through dedicated case managers, ensuring that every donated dollar directly reaches those in need. With a proven history of assisting over 1,000 beneficiaries and mobilizing over $10 million since 2012, they aid a diverse range of individuals, including children, the disabled, the elderly, migrant workers, single parents, and more. Their commitment to genuine assistance and community engagement is verified through audits by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).

Celebrating Founder’s Day is a reminder to myself on how joining the Scouting movement back in my secondary school days changed, impacted and taught me lifelong skills, lessons and friendships for life, from the day I joined Gan Eng Seng Dragon Scout Group. 

My love for nature and outdoors, appreciating and learning more about the areas of heritage, history, culture, conservation and preservation through Dragon Scout Group rich and long history, life skills. This is like one big extended family (Dragon Scout Group and Dragon Chapter), the friendships and bonds that will last our lifetime, they are priceless and invaluable.
