Everesting for Second Chances 2024 | Everesting Event & Family Carnival
On 29 June, around 30 participants took part in the ‘Everesting for Second Chances’ (Everesting) 24-hour indoor physical Everesting event in support of ex-offenders. Guest-of-Honour, Mr Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth of Singapore also participated in the cycle.
Organised by HCSA Community Services (HCSA) and supported by Yellow Ribbon Singapore, Singapore Cycling Federation and National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, the campaign aims to raise awareness on the social challenges of the reintegration of ex-offenders among the community. Everesting challenges participants to cycle an elevation gain of 8,848m – equivalent to the height of Mount Everest.
To amplify the message of second chances and engage our broader community, a much-anticipated Family Carnival was hosted alongside the Everesting Event. Ranging from stage performances, delicious food, carnival games to bouncy inflatables, there was something for everyone. The carnival, co-hosted by Jade Seah and featuring guest speaker SimonBoy, fostered a sense of camaraderie and support for ex-offenders, their families and the Everesting participants.
