Singapore Disability Sports Council

Support Singapore's first-ever triathlon for people with special needs!

TOUCH Community Services is organising the Special-Tri, a first-ever triathlon for people with these special needs - the Deaf, people living with diabetes and the intellectually disabled. The aim of this Special-Tri is to promote sporting excellence in this community and help them overcome limits to growth.

A distinctive feature of this Special-Tri is that each Relay Team will comprise of one special needs person, and two other participants who are family members or friends. This affirms our belief that with family and community support, individuals with special needs can be empowered to be independent, confident and resilient as they face the challenges of life.

Date:	9 June 2007 (Saturday)
Time:	8am - 1.30 pm
Venue:	NTU Sports & Recreation Centre
Guest-of-Honour:	Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman Parliamentary Secretary Ministry of National Development
