With SMOO Challenge 2025, let’s keep this shared spirit of purpose and camaraderie going — as SMU President Professor Lily Kong reflects:

“Once I got started, I just kept going. It was for a meaningful cause and good for my fitness too. I must also say my colleagues kept me going. Every now and then I would get an update on the distance we accumulated, and how far some of them have run, so I told myself to keep up too, and eventually clocked 248 km.” 

Professor Lily Kong, SMU President

Track The Impact

Watch us move toward 25,000 KM and $500,000 raised, together.
