Our Four Ambassadors of Love 骑在双轮上的傳神勇士



他们不是无所事事,他们更不为名、不为利!他们是一群誓言燃尽余生,照亮生命的勇士。现年62岁的黄连盛在一次脊椎手术后,几乎失去行动的能力,和许多病残的老人一样,他像被套牢在“一蹶不振”的魔咒一样,连拿起汤匙的力量都没有。参加新加坡傳神乐龄车队,他找到了生命中的曙光。如今,他虽然路走得不好,不过有了双轮当作双脚。他骑遍新加坡,也与三位队友远征台湾,以一份“坚韧不懈”的精神,展开了这趟奇迹之旅。骑单车对于他来说就像是一扇重生快乐的窗,也让他找回对生命热忱,在单车上享乐其中。

曾遭不幸毁容的萧丽君,凭着一份想活下去的信念走出阴霾,也走入社会。她勇敢地站在台上鼓励着人们放弃“自杀”的念头,活着就有希望!萧丽君放下双眼单视功能障碍等顾虑,毅然带领着新加坡傳神乐龄车队,抱着信心和希望加入送暖慰问行动中。

积极投身义工服务,76岁的李玉麟也向这一次有意义的骑行高喊“好!”李玉麟希望以一种积极、健康的形象鼓励着许多长者,勇敢骑上单车。若您能骑上单车当义工的话,请参与我们,向孤独说再见!


Our Four Ambassadors of Love

Four members of our Cycling Superstar Club represented CCS Singapore in the 25-day 1300-km cycling trip around Taiwan to distribute these well-wishes. The event was held, from 17 November to 11 December. Though no longer young, these four ‘ambassadors’ have always shown a fierce determination to live active and meaningful lives.

62 year-old Wee Lian Seng, who had spinal injury and now walks with difficulty, showed exceptional courage by completing the journey in Taiwan. With pride, he says, “I may not walk well but I can still cycle.”

Lee Yok Leun, 76, and Loh Yoon Siong, 54, were two of our other heroes. They joined the team not only because they love cycling, but also because this particular event had a special purpose to them.

Siow Lee Khoon, who had a tragic past, is a resilient lady determined to face life with renewed joy, courage and hope. She decided to join the other three to bring a simple message to the Taiwanese: It’s good to be alive!

A rather nasty fall during the trip did not deter her from completing the expedition.

Cycling the Extra Mile for Love 骑铁马情牵台新 圣诞传骑送祝福







这趟26天的单车之旅《圣诞传骑 美丽台湾》! 60位新加坡的骑士,加上66位台湾的单车勇士,组成了强而有力的圣诞老人车队,把10, 000份来自新加坡的祝福,传送到台湾100个乡镇、100所养老院、育幼院和风灾灾区,让人们在圣诞佳节里也能感受到人间有爱,生命可贵!

117日(星期天),60位新加坡骑士从武吉巴督邻里中心出发,开启了第一段环绕狮城的100公里的传骑之旅。

他们当中,有多位都是乐龄单车家族的成员。尽管皆是老年人,也曾有腰酸背痛、体力不支的隐疾…! 不过,这一天他们选择骑上两个轮子的单车,带领国人签下10, 000张来自新加坡的祝福卡,以及为了实现自我价值而勇敢出发了!

Cycling the Extra Mile for Love

The objective of this exercise was to get as many Singaporeans as possible to write well-wishes on 10,000 Christmas cards to be sent to 100 townships, 100 nursing homes and orphanages and victims of the recent hurricane in Taiwan. These cards were sent to Taiwan by hand through four Cycling Club Superstar (CCS) members.

These 10,000 cards were displayed at East Coast Park Marine Cove, and students from Dunearn Secondary School and our volunteers were on hand to encourage passers-by to write greetings and well wishes to the people of Taiwan. A team of 60 cyclists, an average age of 70, took a 100 km circuitous route from CCS Bukit Batok Neighbourhood Link to East Coast Marine Cove to lend their support. The response from the public was overwhelming.

11月29日新加坡传神居家照顾协会 骑单车暖暖祖孙情


尘封多年的祖孙情借着一趟《乐龄单车健康之旅》打破家庭代沟,新加坡第一支乐龄单车队将于11月29日(星期天)率领年轻骑士一同感受跨年代健康运动,迎着晨曦挑战35公里长距离骑乘,高喊“骑车,我来咯!”

难得休假日,传神居家照顾协会在这趟《乐龄单车健康之旅》中不但要带动年长者继续谱写辉煌人生,还要鼓励他们用“脚车”来架起祖孙、亲子沟通的桥梁,一起踏上“绿色之路”。这是一个全新的单车之旅,也是绵延祖孙情感的第一步。我们要见证祖孙三代乘风骑乘完成壮游,也要捕捉天伦画面,让和谐家庭唱响幸福生活。
对于年轻人而言,脚车行除了能帮助心灵放松之外,还可以带动青年把体力挥毫在健康的运动上,避免误入歧途。长途与短途单车行能训练青年坚毅耐劳,以致未来在不同领域能发挥拼搏进取的精神。

传神单车俱乐部于11月28日早上10点至6点开放给新加坡民众进行参观。单车爱好者可免费参与当天举办的一系列活动,如单车讲座、单车与辅助器材展览、新单车试骑活动、导读艺术走廊与手工制作区等。有兴趣参加首次出发的《乐龄单车之旅》的民众,也可到活动现场进行报名。

关于新加坡乐龄单车队
传神居家照顾协会曾于今年4月带领30位平均年龄超过65岁的年长义工征服上海到北京2000公里的壮游行程(长达21天),成功透过单车之旅鼓励无数老年人落实身老、心不老的精神,迈向活跃乐龄。


关于新加坡传神居家照顾协会
传神居家照顾协会成立于2001年。于2003年4月成为国家福利理事会的会员。为了落实独居与失能长者的关怀工作,于2003年与社会发展青年及体育部合作,开办CCS武吉巴督邻里中心。

邻里中心以“老老介护”为原则,提供各项居家照顾协会。让长者于熟悉的居家环境“在地老化”(Aging in place)。
