Our Movement
It’s time to reframe what it means to age in Singapore today. To challenge perceptions on what ageing looks like, and to age well. With grace, without limits, living full lives.

‘OK Boomer’ is the internet’s favourite insult for older persons. It’s a shorthand for ‘outdated’, ‘irrelevant’ and ‘useless’.
However, OK can also mean the opposite. It also means ‘no problem’, ‘all good’ and ‘let’s go’. For our runners, it means showing the world that age is neither a limit, nor a problem, not an obstacle. Follow them on their journey, as they break the age stereotypes that are holding them back.

“You can’t run as fast as you could when you were in your teens. So it’s how you struggle with it, fight it, and believe in yourself.”
In early 2024, we challenged TikTokers to see if they could break some 30s records set by five seniors. Examples of the challenges included doing a certain number of jumping jacks within 30s or counting backwards in 3s.
