Since 2009, Building and Construction Authority (BCA) has been volunteering at SAVH to provide a conducive learning space for the visually impaired to acquire new skills and be self-reliant so as to contribute to the society.
Commuting to places as a visually impaired person is much more challenging than a sighted person going for a long marathon.
To Show continuous support to SAVH, BCA volunteers, both seasoned and non-seasoned runners will push their limits by participating in this year’s run to raise fund for SAVH. The run is scheduled on Sunday, 1 October 2017 at the Marina Barrage.
You can support the run and our cause by donating to us via Giving.sg
Thank you for your support!

About Play It Forward
