Ride & Ralk for Rainbows 2025 - Riding with Heart: Yi Wen’s Ride & Ralk for Rainbows Journey 

Meet Chia Yi Wen – a former child of Club Rainbow (Singapore) who is a familiar face and resilient spirit in the Club Rainbow family. Born with Biliary Atresia, Yi Wen became joined Club Rainbow at just one year old – the same year Club Rainbow was founded. “I’ve essentially grown up with the organisation,” she shares. “Club Rainbow has been with me every step of the way.” 

In 2015, Yi Wen joined her first Ride & Ralk for Rainbows event. That experience marked a turning point – not just as a personal achievement, but as a heartfelt way to give back. “After all Club Rainbow has done for me, I wanted to support the cause in any way I could. Ride & Ralk for Rainbows gave me that opportunity.” 

Since then, she has participated six times – even navigating life milestones like childbirth and a global pandemic. Each ride brought unforgettable memories: “One year, it started raining just after flag-off. We all dashed for shelter at a nearby bus stop. While waiting for the rain to ease, everyone was chatting and looking out for each other. It reminded me why I keep coming back – the warmth, the togetherness, the shared purpose.” 

Despite her health challenges and limited stamina, Yi Wen pushes through every ride. “There were many moments I wanted to give up. I’d see others finishing the route while I was still pedaling. I felt embarrassed. But then I reminded myself: I never gave up on life, despite the surgeries, the hospital stays. If I can overcome that, I can finish this ride too.” 

To Yi Wen, Ride & Ralk for Rainbows is more than just an event – it’s a symbol of community, resilience, and hope. “It’s not about being the fastest. It’s about showing up, riding with heart, and supporting the children and families who need us.” 

Her message to first-timers? “Don’t think, don’t hesitate – just join. The sense of purpose, the camaraderie, and the joy of doing something meaningful… it’s all worth it. We ride so others can see their rainbow.”
