Ride & Ralk for Rainbows 2025 - Championing Dreams: Keven Chua’s Ride & Ralk for Rainbows Journey 

Meet Keven Chua – a former child of Club Rainbow (Singapore), an advocate for resilience and inclusion, and a passionate supporter of Ride & Ralk for Rainbows. 

Keven was born with Harlequin Ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin disorder, but he’s never let that define him. A proud graduate of Murdoch University with a double major in Business Law and International Business, Keven officially “graduated” from Club Rainbow in 2020 – a milestone that marked not the end, but a new beginning in his ongoing connection with the organisation. 

Keven’s first encounter with Ride & Ralk for Rainbows – then known as Ride for Rainbows – was in 2015, when he had the honour of co-flagging off the event alongside then-Minister for Health, Mr Gan Kim Yong. The event brought together cycling enthusiasts, partners, and families to raise funds and awareness for children with chronic illnesses. 

Keven returned the following year and continued to participate in the event in various capacities, including virtually during the pandemic.  

“Each time I take part in Ride & Ralk for Rainbows, I’m not just riding for a cause. I’m reconnecting with a community that shaped me, and doing my part to give back.” 

For Keven, Ride & Ralk for Rainbows goes beyond physical activity – it's a symbol of unity and shared purpose.  

“My motivation comes from wanting to stand in the gap – to advocate for children living with chronic illnesses, to encourage them to dream big and never give up.” 

Through his involvement, Keven hopes to inspire others to see the value of resilience, whether it’s expressed through music, art, or education. He believes that every child, regardless of their medical condition, deserves the opportunity to thrive. 

The transition to a virtual event during the COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges – from technical difficulties to adjusting to a more isolated experience. But for Keven, it was a lesson in adaptability. 

“Technology was both a bridge and a barrier. But learning to stay patient and the flexibility to help us, helped us push through and keep the Ride & Ralk for Rainbows spirit alive.” 

Some of Keven’s fondest memories include the unwavering support of former Club Rainbow patron, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, who participated in Ride & Ralk for Rainbows events year after year – not just in an official capacity, but as someone who genuinely believed in the cause. 

“His presence was a powerful reminder of how one person’s support can make a big difference.” 

Thinking about joining Ride & Ralk for Rainbows for the first time? Keven has a heartfelt message: 

“Start small – even if it’s just by observing or supporting a friend who’s taking part. When you experience the energy and unity firsthand, you’ll understand how impactful this event truly is. Your involvement, no matter how big or small, can shape the future of a child’s life.” 

To Keven, the “ride” and the “walk” each represent powerful ideas. Ride for Rainbows is a journey of hope and perseverance, inspiring others to chase their own rainbows. Walk for Rainbows is a shared journey – side by side – with the children, families, volunteers, and supporters of Club Rainbow. Together, these paths lead to a brighter future for children with chronic illnesses – one filled with courage, dreams, and the chance to write their own Singapore story.
