No matter how ambitious the goal, success is rarely a solo journey. A couple of days ago, along with our team of dedicated cyclist, we embarked on a 518KM charity ride with Ride-to-Serve, cycling through Desaru, Mersing, Batu Pahat and back to Singapore.
What started as a Fundraiser for Sikh Welfare Council (SIWEC), turned into a journey of grit, brotherhood and pure teamwork. Every steep climb, every headwind, every excruciating kilometre under the scorching sun was possible, only as a team.

This journey is also a reminder of how fortunate many of us are and the responsibility we have to give back to society. Every kilometre we rode supports a mission to serve communities in need, regardless of race, language or religion. During the course of this ride, over S$300,000 was successfully raised for the needy. Our appreciation to those who contributed.
