Rallying the community of patients, caregivers and supporters in a Race to Save Lives, the Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) will be holding their 7th annual Race Against Cancer (RAC) on Sunday, 13 September.

Sponsored by Singtel, this will be SCS’ flagship fundraising event with proceeds going to the self-funded voluntary welfare organisation’s various work and programmes. These include cancer treatment subsidies, welfare assistance, cancer rehabilitation, hospice care, free cancer screenings, research, and public education and community outreach initiatives.

Spectacular, white, sandy beach. Crisp sea breeze. Uplifting morning sunshine. The sound of seagulls and rolling waves. Beach lovers of all ages, the Bali Beach Run is for you!

On the day Dipna Lim Prasad was born, 7th June 1991, Mount Pinatubo, a volcano in the Philippines, burst into life for the first time ever, and that nation hasn’t been the same since. The same could be said for the sport of international track and field when a Singaporean wonder woman came into the world on that very day: Despite injury and setbacks, Dipna Lim Prasad’s accomplishments are Herculean, which is why Singapore was proud to cheer her on as a member of its 2012 Summer Olympics team. She competed in 100-metre hurdle events, but some of the hurdles she has faced since then will impress you more, because Dipna is a powerful example of someone who doesn’t know the meaning of quitting. Look for her as a 2015 NIKE-sponsored athlete at SEA Games—29th May to 16th June—and if you spot her, it’s never too early or late to wish her Happy Birthday!

There are almost always two main groups of people when it comes to running. Those who love the outdoors on one faction and the other who runs on a treadmill at their regular frequented gym. While training my client sometimes on treadmill in the gymnasium and at other times in the outdoors of Ang Mo Kio, I was posed the question: “Is there really a big difference?” What is then the difference in terms of pros and cons of each option?

Is running your physical workout preference? Or is yoga your personal ticket to health? These two activities may appear at opposite ends of the spectrum, but they are not necessarily exclusive. By combining running with yoga, you can create an ideal cross-training regimen.
