Endurance Apex 850km Ride With A Heart For Charity.

ENDURANCE 850km RIDE WITH A HEART FOR CHARITY

 &
TO PROMOTE INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING & FRIENDSHIP




 

  • Malaysian and Singaporean cyclists to ride 850KM in Aid Of Education

    The inaugural event Apex 850 kicks off in January when twenty cyclists from Malaysia and Singapore will ride 850 kilometres from Penang to Singapore, to provide opportunities for deserving under-graduates.


    The 850km endurance charity ride will span four days (22nd – 25th January 2013), starting in Penang near the city’s iconic bridge, and ending in Singapore at the Apex Harmony Lodge, the country’s first purpose built home for people with dementia.


    From Penang the cyclists will ride south to Teluk Intan, followed by Port Dickson, Batu Pahat, and then into Singapore via the Woodlands checkpoint.


    The Malaysian cyclists are aiming to raise RM150,000 while the Singaporeans are targeting SGD200,000 for their Apex Harmony Lodge.


    Apex Penang Education Fund

    Launched in 2011, Apex Penang Educational Fund provides financial assistance to deserving tertiary-level students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Applicants must be Malaysian citizen who study in the universities or other institutions of higher learning in Malaysia.

    The fund depends on private donations and fundraising events like the previous Mount Kinabalu Climbathon which was held on 14th February 2011. With the assistance of 5 Youth climbers; 3 locals and 2 Australians, Apex Club of Penang raised RM50,000 to kick start this Fund. That scaling the highest peak in South-east Asia also brought pride to the Apex Fraternity as the flags, of Apex Club of Penang and corporate sponsors, were hoisted for the first time at that majestic height of 13,455 feet above sea level. Apex 850 is to raise more money to assist more students.


    Apex Harmony Lodge

    Apex Harmony Lodge believes that people with dementia should experience a quality of life that is no different from any other person’s. It is a purpose-built 210-bed home in Pasir Ris, Singapore. The Lodge has provided quality, affordable dementia care since 1999. Besides medical subvention funding from the government, the lodge relies on private donations and fundraising activities to sustain its day-to-day operations. Residents have access to medical and physical therapy, and the lodge supports their families with psychiatric and social care. The lodge also works with schools, private organizations and volunteers to raise awareness about dementia.

  • 马来西亚和新加坡脚踏车骑士
    长征850公里为教育基金筹款

              20131月,二十名矫健的马来西亚和新加坡脚踏车骑士将从槟城远征到新加坡为 “Apex 850”  揭开教育基金筹款序幕。此举之目的是给予更多有潜质的马来西亚在籍大学生提供助学金。

             这项备考耐力的 “Apex 850” 慈善义骑从2013122日开始至25日结束,为期四天;起点临近槟城大桥,终点为地处新加坡西部的崇仁至善和谐院。崇仁至善和谐院是新加坡第一所专为失智患者而设的疗养院。

             骑士们将从槟城大桥向南挺进,先后经过安顺,波德申,巴都巴辖,最后通过兀兰关卡直达新加坡。

             马来西亚的骑士们希望这次的义骑能够筹得马币150,000新加坡的骑士们则希望为崇仁至善和谐院筹得新币200,000元的善款。

    Apex 槟城教育基金
              Apex 槟城教育基金成立于2011年,其宗旨是给予有潜质的在籍学生经济上的协助,让他们顺利完成高等教育。所有申请者必须是马来西亚公民,并且就读于马来西亚的大学或其他高等学府。

            此教育基金全赖公众认捐以及类似在2011214举办的京那巴鲁马拉松爬山所筹得的善款。这项由三名马来西亚和两名澳洲年轻爬山健儿所组成的五人爬山筹款活动,为槟城Apex Club筹得马币50,000元,也因而创立了现在的Apex 槟城教育基金。这五名成功征服这座东南亚最高峰的健儿们,无比荣耀地将槟城Apex Club和赞助商的旗帜,威风凛凛地插在海拔13,455尺的巍峨高峰上。即将举办的 “Apex 850”  致力于为更多有需要的学生筹募教育基金。

    崇仁至善和谐院
              崇仁至善和谐院坚信失智患者的生活素质应该和一般人一样。因此,在1999年,它在巴西立创立了新加坡第一所拥有210个床位的失智疗养院,为患者提供高素质又负担得起的护理。除了享有政府的医药津贴,疗养院的其他经费,例如病人的药物和物理治疗,以及家属的心理和社会辅导,都是来自公众的认捐和筹款活动。此外,疗养院也和学校、私人机构以及义工们携手合作提高公众对失智症的意识。
