Making the Impossible, Possible
The first-ever YMCA Inclusive Climb 2019 saw a team of 10 clients with special needs rise above unique difficulties to challenge Mount Fuji. The team, consisting of those with visual impairments, cerebral palsy, autism and a bone cancer survivor, underwent intensive physical training before scaling the mountain.
They experienced a life-changing journey of self-discovery, forming meaningful friendships in the process. They proved to themselves and to the world that persons with special needs can achieve great heights beyond their imagination.
As the COVID-19 pandemic eases, the YMCA Special Needs Inclusive Challenge 2023 continues this spirit of championing special needs. Show your support for our 10 Special Needs Ambassadors as they embark on an exciting expedition to summit Mt Fuji this August!
The YMCA Special Needs Inclusive Challenge is an awareness and fundraising event in support of youth with special needs. Funds raised will go to our special needs programmes so youth with special needs can lead an even more independent and dignified life.
