SMU Challenge: Cyclethon 2008 is a charity event organized by the Singapore Management University Student Association Council (SMU-SAC).
The concept of the event is to have participants cycling on 100 spinner bikes simultaneously in an attempt to clock as much distance as possible for 30 hours consecutively. This is because for every kilometer cycled, we will raise 1SGD for charity. This amount will be pledged and donated by our donors.
In conjunction, we intend to emphasise and promote the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle amongst SMU students and the public by the means of static cycling.
Cycling is a sport of relatively low intensity, and at the same time it exercises the largest muscles in the body. Similarly, static spinning is an unmatched way to make fitness goals a reality. With no complicated moves to learn, top-notch instructors and music that motivates you to pedal, exercising can never been more fun and enticing for all.
Our beneficiary for SMU Cyclethon 2008 will be Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore) - MDAS.
MDAS, is a self-help organisation formed in March 2000. It is committed to uplift the lives of people with Muscular Dystrophy.
Muscular Dystrophy is the name given to a large group of muscle diseases characterised by the development of muscle weakness, wasting and contractures, that are usually progressive and sometimes life threatening. These diseases often manifest in childhood, although some begin in adulthood. Most, if not all, are caused by a large variety of inherited gene abnormalities. At present, there is no cure for Muscular Dystrophy.
MDAS understands the challenges faced by people with Muscular Dystrophy and their families. MDAS extends its membership privileges to all children, youth and adults with Muscular Dystrophy as well as their families.
