10 runners. What unites them all? 🧠🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

On the first weekend of December, 10 of our pledged brain donors took on the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon events. They ran everything from 5km to the full 42.195km, donning our "Proud Brain Donor" sashes at different points.

This run also marks a milestone: 500 brain donors registered this year. 💜🧡💙
Each pledge reflects Singapore's growing commitment to advancing brain research, helping drive better understanding and future treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Thank you to our incredible donor-runners for going the distance and raising awareness every step of the way.
✨ Stay tuned for upcoming posts featuring our donor-runners.

With special thanks to for sponsoring race slots for our pledged brain donors.
