Since its inception in 1993, the annual Run For Hope, organised by Four Seasons Hotel Singapore and National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), aims to raise much-needed awareness and support for cancer research.

Based on statistic, an average of 14,000 people were diagnosed with cancer each year in Singapore . Through advances in science and dedicated cancer research activities at the NCCS, there is hope for cancer patients. In addition to supporting the cause, we also managed to raise awareness on some of the rarer varieties of cancers, as well as the difficulties that many people who have the illness face on a day-to-day basis.

The research projects spearheaded by NCCS are crucial in bringing hope to all who live with the shadow of cancer in their lives. With continuous support from our community of sponsors and supporters, the run continues to raise awareness on the importance of cancer research and provide support to an array of life-saving cancer research programmes at the NCCS.

The Run For Hope initiative is one that is very close to our hearts and to date the run has raised over $1.6 million for the National Cancer Centre Research Fund since 2008. This run could not be possible without you and we sincerely hope that you will support this incredibly meaningful event together with your family and friends.

Thank you once again for joining us in the fight against cancer this year and we look forward to running with you for Run For Hope 2024!

National Cancer Centre Singapore

This year marks a significant milestone for the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) as we celebrate our 25th anniversary of advancing cancer care. As we look back at our journey over the past 25 years pioneering cancer research and innovating to improve treatment outcomes for our patients, NCCS has been at the forefront of driving progress in cancer care and Run For Hope has been an integral part of the NCCS story. Every year, the event serves as an opportunity to rally the community to increase cancer awareness and support life-saving cancer research.

Last year, Run For Hope saw enthusiastic participation from more than 2,300 runners who collectively raised more than $45,000! This tremendous achievement is a testament to the unwavering support and generosity of our community to support those who are affected by cancer. This year, Run For Hope has introduced a new 5km category, and we look forward to more participants joining the run for a good cause.

All of us have had a loved one who has been affected by cancer and we know the devastating effect it can have. So, whether you run, walk, or volunteer at Run For Hope, your participation can make a real difference. As we lace up our running shoes, let’s spread the word about the event, rally more to join the fun and support impactful cancer research that improves lives.

Thank you for your support, we look forward to seeing you at the event. Stepping up for a cause is admirable, I wish you good health, good times and much success at Run For Hope 2024!
