Pediatric Brain Tumour Awareness
February 19th 2017
Children who have been diagnosed with a brain tumour, who are undergoing treatment and those who are brain tumour survivors will be given car rides by a fleet of exotic cars from Porsche. This follows the Ride for Kids program that has been supporting the USA-based Pediatric Brain Tumour Foundation since 1984. The cars will drive as a convoy around a designated circuit down Orchard road to the current Singapore F1 circuit path.
