Some 7,200 people took part in the ComChest Heartstrings Walk this morning (Aug 18).

The event comprised a four-kilometre fun walk at Marina Bay, which drew some 7,000 participants and a vertical marathon at Marina Bay Sands Hotel that attracted over 150 participants.

Those who scaled 57 storeys in the vertical race capped their experience with a bird’s eye view of the Singapore skyline at Sands SkyPark.

ComChest said it raised S$1.35 million through today’s event.

ComChest said that this year, it will channel S$24 million from various fund-raising efforts throughout the year to help these charities deliver critical social services.
