we are
espoir is a team made up of 4 Secondary 3 students from Nanyang Girls’ High School. espoir (‘espuah’) is hope in French, one which we aim to bring forth in Youth for Causes. espoir aims to promote awareness of the muscular condition – muscular dystrophy. Espoir also aims to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore) MDAS to provide treatment for Muscular Dystrophy patients.
Our event is a fun run to be held in Hwa Chong Institution. Guests such as local celebrities and Singapore sportsmen (eg. swimmer Yip Pin Xiu who suffers from Muscular Dystrophy) would be invited to host and participate in the event. We plan for the event to be 8 hour long; from 10a.m to 6p.m. Ongoing activities such as live performances, lucky draws and sales of food will keep the energy going throughout the entire event. Funds will also be raised via sales of merchandise and sponsorships.

Profile
The non-profit organisation that we are working with is Muscular Dystrophy Association Singapore. The Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore), 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.
