MDAS Flag Day 2022

MDAS Flag Day 2022

Date: 1st April 2022 to 30th June 2022

Our annual Flag Day is back as a multi-part campaign this year from 1 April 2022 to 30 June 2022! As Singapore shifts to adapting to an endemic, we are excited to have our Flag Day both online and in-person with some of our partners this year. We would like to appeal for your generosity in this campaign’s fundraising efforts. It is only through the kind donations of our donors that we are able to carry out our mission of inspiring hope and enriching the lives of people with muscular dystrophy and their families.

MDAS is committed to uplifting the lives of children and adults living with MD. As a dedicated group, we understand the challenges they face, and as such, our programmes and services are aimed at enhancing the quality of life for these families. These range from life-skills training and health education to physiotherapy, respite care and financial-related assistance. Our support ensures that every life journey of a person with MD is cared for holistically.

Your generous donation* will go towards supporting MDAS’s operating expenditure in providing programmes, services, all supporting costs for over 500 beneficiaries and sustaining its operating activities.

Be our strength. Join us in the fight against MD.

MDAS Flag Day 2022 Appeal Letter – Little Actions, Big Differences

Diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of three, Edmund is undeterred and remains good-natured. Despite his weakening muscles, he continuously strives to do his best in juggling both his internship and attending Power Soccer training sessions.

Edmund joined MDAS in 2016 and participated in our empowerment programmes where he developed his love for Power Soccer. Through this, he gained confidence and communication skills while developing connections and building camaraderie with his teammates.  Edmund is greatly passionate about Power Soccer, and he describes it as a strategic sport that requires teamwork and interaction while giving him the ability to feel active.  

“I love power soccer because I like football. My favourite soccer player is Messi! He inspires me because of his dribbling skills and my dream is to be like him.” 

Just like with Edmund, we journey with persons with MD, building a customised and holistic curriculum to cater to their individual needs. MDAS expends over $900,000 yearly to provide a range of services that are highly subsidised for our beneficiaries. Your contributions will enable us to sustain our operating expenditure in providing programmes, services, and all supporting costs while continuing to support individuals like Edmund. We believe that these are essential in empowering our beneficiaries with the skills and mentality to live a life with meaning and dignity. This, in turn, champions an inclusive society where families of persons with Muscular Dystrophy are cared for and aided.   

Our annual Flag Day is back as a multi-part campaign this year from 1st April 2022 to 30th June 2022! We appeal for your continuous generosity in support of our Flag Day’s fundraising efforts.  

We aim to raise $100,000 which will go towards running essential programmes and services to improve the quality of life of our beneficiaries. It is only through the kind donations of our donors that we can carry out our mission of inspiring hope and enriching the lives of people with muscular dystrophy and their families.  

Yours sincerely,

Executive Director of MDAS
