Our CEO Pauline Wong shared her thoughts on the inspiration and motivation behind the 152km "Walk for Mental Health." After all the blood, sweat (and maybe even a few tears) and months of training, it was all worth it! This epic rally trek around the island, together with our partners, aims to raise funds for the TeleChoice-WHCF ESG Fund for Mental Health—because mental health is the cornerstone of a healthy life!
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟱𝟮𝗸𝗺 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗵𝗲-𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆 “𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵” – 𝗪𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗜𝘁! On 2 October 2024, we marked a heartfelt milestone for mental health as TeleChoice International Limited and the Woodbridge Hospital Charity Fund (WHCF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to celebrate World Mental Health Day. Through this partnership, TeleChoice will lead a five-year fundraising campaign, uniting corporate partners in support of mental health initiatives. Kicking off this journey is our first fundraising event: the "Walk for Mental Health", a 152km relay walk across the landscapes of Singapore, bringing together participants from Institute of Mental Health, TeleChoice International Limited, and Samsung Electronics Singapore for this important cause. This walk was inspired by my own hiking experiences. For me, walking has always been a source of solace, a way to manage stress and find my center. The simple rhythm of placing one foot in front of the other offers a comforting escape from daily pressures. As we traverse different terrains—whether vibrant cityscapes or challenging hills—we are reminded of life’s beautiful blend of joyful moments and tough challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming. We all face personal struggles, many of which may remain hidden from those around us. It’s essential to recognise that asking for help takes incredible courage and is NOT a sign of weakness. This relay walk embodies my belief that, no matter the obstacles, there’s always a path forward. With the support of companions—family, friends, and teammates—every challenging journey becomes more manageable. Together, we can conquer mountains that may seem insurmountable alone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who made this possible! Your collective efforts are truly inspiring. As we move forward, let’s carry the spirit of this walk with us and continue to Stand Together For Mental Health. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WalkForMentalHealth #StandTogetherForMentalHealth #TeleChoice #IMH
