Event Information This year, Metta Charity Run returns with a Singaporean edition. Just like how Singlish has been regarded as having low prestige and heavily discouraged in favour of Standard English, our beneficiaries have experienced the same marginalisation for being different. Thus, our Singaporean-themed Run hopes to celebrate the differences in our community and spur the spirit of an inclusive society where no one is left behind. Let s start to embrace uniqueness and have an inclusive heart lah!
