SW1 Clinic supports:
♥ Singapore Cheshire Home
This year, the staff and doctors of SW1 Clinic have committed to the Standard Chartered Marathon 2012 to defy their personal limitations. We invite all of you to join us in defying your limitations by committing to one new challenge for 2012.
SW1 Clinic will be pledging $10 for every kilometer completed by our staff to Singapore Cheshire Home.
The Singapore Cheshire Home was founded in 1957 to provide for the care of the seriously disabled with limited means and inadequate family support. The Home aims to provide for the care, rehabilitation, encouragement, stimulation and happiness of these seriously disabled residents, and to give them the best chance to live normal lives.

SW1 Clinic hopes that by doing our part through this charity initiative, we can not only change our world, but also change someone else’s world for the better.
♥Children’s Cancer Foundation
The Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) is dedicated to help improve the quality of life of cancer-stricken children and their families. The threat of cancer in our affluent lifestyle is very real. With about 120 new cases of childhood cancer diagnosed annually, it is important that we press on with our fight against this disease. Up till now, the causes of most childhood cancers are still unknown. However, one thing is certain – cancer inflicts immense physical and emotional stress on the child and family.
With core programmes in place, the Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) is well-positioned to be a holistic provider to care for cancer afflicted children and their families. CCF supports the training and research of childhood cancer and complements our hospitals’ efforts in this area to enhance survival of this illness.
SW1 Clinic is sponsoring the Children’s CCF’s Hair for Hope Event in May 2007.

♥Tetraplegia Workgroup Singapore
Tetraplegia Workgroup, a non-profit voluntary group under Friends of Tan Tock Seng Hospital (Singapore) caters to the needs of tetraplegics to foster a sense of “Family Spirit” among the community. This is achieved through events, outings and recreational activities specially organised for the tetraplegics to help them form a supportive framework. Besides befriending tetraplegic persons, they also assist in meeting their medical, social, vocational and physical needs by linking with existing services available.
Most of these tetraplegics are home-bound and face difficulties with the physical constraints; it takes extra effort from both the tetraplegic person and their families to re-integrate into our society. Tetraplegic Workgroup aims to to help them cope with life challenges by offering support and friendship. For more information, please visit www.tetraplegiaworkgroup.org
