Compassion inspired all of us at People Impact, including
the management team, teachers, students and parents,
to organise ‘The Good Heart Fund Raisers’ in support of
CCF from 28 to 29 May 2016. We believe that a person’s

From8 to24 July 2016, a teamof five comprisingNicholas,
Wayne, Jack, Alfatah and Pin Chuan from the Army’s
Combat Service Support Command (CSSCOM), embarked
on a 10-day Japan cycling expedition from Hiroshima to
Tokyo. Armedwith the purpose of raising funds for children
with cancer and their families, the team fearlessly covered
a distance of approximately 1,088 kilometres on their
bikes and ascended 6,840metres in vertical height to raise
$11,183 for CCF!
Sharing his experience, expedition navigator Jack Tay
reminisced, “The journey was definitely a test of mental
and physical grit. We received tremendous support from
back home and messages of encouragement via the CCF
website piled on the pressure and spurred us on each day.
We are simply glad to have completed the expedition as
planned and achieve our fundraising target. We hope that
this little contribution can serve to better the lives of our
children battlingwith cancer.”
