SHF’s annual Go Red for Women campaign returned with Pledge Your Heart Walk 2018 to encourage women and their families to take active steps towards a heart-healthier lifestyle. This time around, we introduced a longer distance of 5.5km route based on past feedback from participants. In addition to the 3km route, there were over 1,200 registered participants.
Held on 23 Jun at Punggol Waterway Park event lawn, our Guest of Honour was Ms Low Yen Ling (Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Manpower, and Mayor of the South West District). Nestlé Omega Plus (Gold Sponsor for Pledge Your Heart Walk 2018) Brand Ambassador, Bryan Wong was also present at the event.
Although the walk could not proceed due to rain, participants stayed on for the cholesterol tests and exhibition booths to learn more about cardiac health. Kid-friendly activities such as balloon sculpting, also kept the young ones entertained. A beautiful rainbow also lighted up the sky after the rain subsided, bringing a nice closure to the event.
