Joined UNICEF Charity Run 2013
The 8th UNICEF Charity Run* was held at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort on November 24. The Bank has sponsored 4 colleagues to join the Run with other 14,000 runners, to response to the calling of UNICEF to “Believe in Zero AIDS.Make Zero Your Finish Line”. The Run has raised donations of over HK$10 million, which is enough for over 620,000 HIV-positive mothers to receive “one pill daily” treatment to protect their babies from infecting the virus during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding.
*UNICEF Charity Run is the 2nd largest distance running event in Hong Kong. Since its launch in 2006, this Charity Run has already recorded around 58,000 runners to join and successfully raised donations of over HK$45.5 million to support UNICEF's HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment works in over 150 countries.
