In the spirit of fun and giving, 11 SIA Cargo staff recently took to the streets of Singapore to raise funds for the company' s adopted charity the Singapore Children's Society (SCS).

Our team participated in the annual SAFRA Sheares Bridge Run on 11 September 2005 in the non-competitive race category, but with our own self-directed challenge: To seek sponsors who would pledge a dollar for every kilometre we each completed.

The more adventurous among us and there were four ran the 12-km Mini-Marathon while the rest were quite satisfied to do the 6-km City Run.

Starting off at Esplanade Drive, the participants ran over Sheares Bridge, where our 6-km runners broke off to return to St Andrews Road via the Fountain of Wealth by Suntec City.

Our gallant mini-marathoners returned to St Andrews Road via the National Stadium and the very picturesque Marina Promenade.
