Row for Hope 2017 by NCCS [Pre-Event]

The National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) is once again delighted to partner the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Singapore to hold the NCCS Row For Hope Boat Races on Sunday, 26 March 2017 to raise awareness and funds to benefit cancer care and survivorship of those affected by cancer.

The Boat Race is a set of annual rowing races between the Oxford University Boat Club and the Cambridge University Boat Club, rowed on the River Thames in London, England. This is the second year The Oxford and Cambridge Society of Singapore is partnering NCCS) as a renewed commitment of their support to the fight against cancer.

Cancer is still the No. 1 killer in Singapore, accounting for 30% of all deaths in 2014. This is 5 times more than deaths caused by accidents, violence and poisoning put together. Last year, NCCS attended to more than 145,000 patient-visits and treated close to 70% of cancer cases in the public sector. The cost of cancer treatment has also increased significantly.

We are raising funds through this event in aid of patient care programmes to improve the quality of life of cancer patients in hope that less will suffer from this terrible disease. From this event, we hope to raise $100,000.

If you would like to make a gift or sponsor any part of the event, please contact Hilman at 62369440 or email [email protected] to learn more.
