Recently Jon and Ben had the opportunity to support a very worthwhile cause. They were invited by Daniel Dittmar of Focus Pilates to support The Children’s Cancer Foundation (and the opening of the new focus pilates studio in Orchard Road) which they both jumped at.

Known as Hair For Hope, an event which invites members of the public to shave their heads to show their support for children with cancer, the event aims to:

1. Create awareness of childhood cancer in Singapore.
2. Show to children with cancer and their families that they are not alone in their fight against cancer.
3. Boost the self-esteem of children undergoing chemotherapy by sending the message that that there is nothing wrong in losing their hair or being bald.
4. Raise funds to help children with cancer and their families
5. Build a community of support for children with cancer and their families.
