I love cycling. Since my childhood it has been my favorite way of getting around –
cycling to school, music school, sports training, riding with friends to the lake in
summer and to the ice skating rink in winter and on family trips.
In Singapore I love my daily ride to work which relaxes me and rewards me with
beautiful views of the city. It has also been a great opportunity to explore the city.
My plan is to ride the 250km from Singapore to Malacca in one day, which is a
distance almost double my previous longest ride.
I look forward to tackling this challenge together with my colleagues, creating
awareness and raising funds for the Mental Health Film Festival that inspires
hundreds of people each year. It shows different aspects of mental health
challenges, encourages discussions and hviugcfactive engagement, teaches
techniques of filmmaking, and creates an open and accepting environment, all with
a ‘can do’ attitude.

About Mental Health Film Festival Singapore

MHFFS is a registered charity that conducts outreach events to raise awareness for people in Singapore to provide an inclusive and safe platform for stories about mental health. Through these programmes we hope to encourage early help- seeking. We have run 3 Mental Health Film Festivals, an inaugural roadshow in 2023, satellite events with various schools, corporates and community clubs and 3 Short Film Youth Competitions.

This year, MHFFS wants to utilize sports and engaging activities to create an informal environment that encourages open interaction and communication, fostering an atmosphere conducive to discussing mental health, a key pillar to what we do as an organization. By embracing physical activity, we aim to foster a community that supports mental wellness while challenging the negative perceptions associated with mental health.

With your support, we believe a little goes a long way in making a difference in the mental health landscape.
