Maria Monique Last Wish Foundation launched its global charity initiative in Singapore to honour and empower differently-abled athletes
The Maria Monique Last Wish Foundation (MMLWF) officially launched its international charity programme titled 100 Celebrities Talk for Paralympic (100 CTFP) on 11 July 2025 in Singapore. The initiative brought together 100 global celebrities to share three heartfelt sentences of encouragement and love, offering moral support and inspiration to Paralympic athletes around the world.
The launch received full backing from leading Paralympic bodies, including the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF), Asian Paralympic Committee (APC), and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Their official presence underscored a shared commitment to advancing equality, recognition, and empowerment for differently-abled athletes.
Indonesia’s Ambassador to Singapore, Suryo Pratomo, and Mrs Noeri Widowati attended the event as guests of honour. In his address, Ambassador Pratomo praised the 100 CTFP programme as a meaningful platform for international communities to show solidarity with Paralympic athletes—who embody resilience, dedication, and the spirit of perseverance.
Notable speakers at the event included Dr Teo-Koh Sock Miang, President of Paralympic Singapore; Dr Wandee Tosuwan, Secretary-General of APSF; and Natalia S. Tjahja, Founder of MMLWF and Ambassador of APSF. Ms Tjahja highlighted that the initiative aims to bridge hearts globally with the Paralympic community through simple yet powerful messages from celebrities that inspire collective empathy and support.
The launch of 100 CTFP marked a significant moment in promoting social inclusion and equality through sport, and reflected the power of cross-border cooperation in driving long-term change. MMLWF and its partners hope the campaign will foster lasting inspiration for both current and future generations.
