Political Correspondent Every step you take would not only keep you fit, but would also make a contribution to a local charity.
Goh Yan Han

A community campaign launched on Sept 8 will feature brisk-walking and running events, where every kilometre walked or run by participants will see $1 donated. The initiative, which will last till Nov 30, is organised by the People's Association Youth Movement (PAYM) and Community Sports Networks in support of President's Challenge 2024.

Participants can download a dedicated app that will track and record their steps as part of the PA Cares @ President's Challenge 2024 campaign, said the People's Association (PA).
