Cyclists raising funds for Sana stopped to help GetGo car user, company donates $1,000 to thank them

One good turn deserves another.

Car-sharing company GetGo has donated $1,000 to the Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (Sana) to thank the cyclists who stopped to help a stranded GetGo car user out of petrol.

At the time, the cyclists were doing the Break The Cycle 202.4km challenge to raise funds for Sana.

Stomp reported the incident, which happened at Mandai Avenue on Jan 6.

GetGo shared the Stomp report on its Facebook page on Jan 12 and said: "In a world where cyclists and drivers often find themselves on opposite ends, a heart-warming incident unfolded that touched our hearts.

"Recently, a group of dedicated cyclists, pedalling to raise funds for Sana, exemplified the true spirit of community when they stopped to help a GetGoer facing trouble during her booking.

"This act of kindness resonated deeply with us at GetGo Carsharing. In gratitude for their selflessness, GetGo is honoured to contribute $1,000 to Sana as a token of our appreciation for their community contributions and the incredible work they are doing."

Stomper G, who was one of the cyclists, told Stomp: "On behalf of Break The Cycle and Sana, thanks again. GetGo made a donation!"

Sana helps drug offenders recognise that they can resist and rise above the influence of drugs.

Break The Cycle is a group that uses cycling to reintegrate ex-offenders into the community. Earlier this month, the group organised a 202.4km cycling challenge in support of Sana. The distance of 202.4km was to reflect the new year.

You too can make a donation to Sana at www.giving.sg/donate/campaign/btc2024challenge.

As GetGo said in its Facebook post: "Let's continue to inspire moments of compassion on the road!"
