For Rubiana, a senior lecturer at a local private college, Care2Run presents her eldest son Joshua with a platform to explore and realise his potential. Seventeen-year-old Joshua is currently thriving as a junior coach, mentoring and guiding other differently-abled young persons, and Ruby says that the confidence and maturity Joshua now display attest to how much he’s grown since joining Care2Run.
Swee Tin has had an eventful 12 months with Care2Run, having gone from parent to volunteer mentor and currently, the co-facilitator of our seventh Foundation Programme.

“I have never believed in keeping my children away from activities. But it’s not always easy finding a place where we can go as a family and feel comfortable that

“My family and I really loved our trip to Malaysia! And we will be back. We loved the people, climate, culture, nature and all the delicious food,” Drs.
