The Ride & Run to Restore 2023 is a fundraising activity to celebrate the 36th anniversary of The Helping Hand (THH). This year, we are organising both a virtual and a physical segment to encourage members of the public to join THH in commemorating 36 successful years of transforming the lives of ex-offenders.

All contributions and revenues generated from this event will be used to upgrade and support our rehabilitation programs. We prioritise the rehabilitation process as it plays a crucial role in transforming ex-offenders. Therefore, we are committed to allocating all resources into improving and achieving our mission.

The resolve to turn over a new leaf is a good start, but finishing well matters most for the ex-offenders we work with. Show your passion by garnering the distance or helping your friends and family accumulate the miles. Let’s finish this race together!

Ride & Run to Restore 2023 will have both a virtual and a physical segment to choose from. The virtual ride/run/walk segment allows participants to take part at their own pace and track the distance using STRAVA (a GPS-enabled physical exercise tracking app). Participants can ride/run/walk at any location and time, as long as it is recorded in STRAVA.

The highlight of this fundraiser is the physical ride/run/walk category called “Go the Extra Mile” (GtEM). Participants in this category will be paired with an ex-offender on a physical 36km ride or 3.6km walk. During the ride or walk, they will have an opportunity to interact with an ex-offender and gain insight into their journey of restoration. This will truly be a meaningful and memorable experience for everyone.

Join us for this exciting fundraiser to commemorate THH’s 36 years of successful life transformation and diligently reducing Singapore’s overall recidivism rate. As ONE community, we aim to stick together and support each other to make Singapore a better place to live in!
