Paddling 300KM Across Mongolia's Largest Lake For Down Syndrome

July 2019

Amount Raised: S$6,295
To Down Syndrome Association (SG)

2017, 800km of solo expediting across the excruciating conditions of the great Mongolian Gobi desert.

2018, he inspired 18 others to do the same, taking on the desert for over 1000km the second time; enduring unforgiving conditions each time he did. Both efforts combined, raised over $80,000 for Singapore Cancer Society, and that will benefit many underprivileged cancer patients and their families for a long time to come.

This time, he has his sights set on the “Blue Pearl of Mongolia”, the Khövsgöl lake. This awe-inspiring lake may be popular amongst tourists and Mongolians alike. But do not be fooled. This magical lake is not to be underestimated. The crystal clear waters is only for the brave, for even in the summer months, the water is still bitterly cold!

In July 2019, completely over 6 days, with nothing but only his kayak and gadgetry, Scott boldly battles over 300 kilometers of Mongolia’s largest lake under intense conditions to fundraise and spread awareness for the Down Syndrome Association Singapore.

No doubt! Scott will have to brave through severe fatigue, endure weather extremities, mental strain, blistering sores, and battle whatever other challenges may come his way. But that test will pale in comparison to the daily struggle of people with Down Syndrome. With unparalleled grit and tenacity, he will endeavor to complete this challenge by pushing through excruciating mental barriers and physical stress.
