SINGAPORE: To drum up support to help fight youth delinquency, some 10,000 people took part in the Citi-MILK (Mainly I Love Kids) Run along the Singapore River on Sunday.

The aim of the run was to raise S$1 million to help youths-at-risk and children from low-income families.

They form the lowest four per cent of Singapore's society who struggle with meeting basic needs like food and shelter.

The money raised will fund programmes by charity organisation, Beyond Social Services.
