More than a thousand primary and secondary school students, parents , citizens and elite athletes shed their sweats for charity, celebrating Christmas with a healthy and energetic relay run.

On December 23, 2018 (Sunday) , Mr. Chan Mau-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, joined the representatives from community of sports, education, entertainment, several disciplined services and more than 1,300 citizens to participate in the “Active School – Run With Your Heart 2018” at Sha Tin Sports Ground, celebrating the Christmas with a healthy body and mind. Over 170 teams competed in a four-hour long-distance running competition by relay to raise funds for the Elite Athlete Charitable Trust, showing perseverance and love.

Hosted by Hong Kong Elite Athletes Association, fully supported by Hong Kong Jockey Club Charitable Trust and co-organised by the Sha Tin Festival Committee, the “Active School — Run With Your Heart” was launched in 1998 and has been warmly welcomed since re-launching in 2016. It promotes the health benefits of sport through relay runs, while raising funds for the Elite Athletes Charitable Trust and providing education, further education, medical care and other emergency support to individuals and charity groups.

Mr. Victor Hui, Honorary President of the Hong Kong Elite Athletes Association, said at the opening ceremony: “Hong Kong elite athletes are actively participating in social services and are serving the community in different ways by example. The annual “Run With Your Heart” has witnessed their spirit being passed down from generation to generation. Old athletes retire and new athletes take over the baton, but what has remained unchanged is that we keep uniting the strength of athletes to pay back to the society.”

Mr. Raymond Tam Chi-yuen, Executive Director of Corporate Affairs of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, said in a speech that it was the third year that the Jockey Club supported “Active School — Run With Your Heart”. He said, “The Jockey Club Charitable Trust has allocated more than HK $20 million in 2016 to support the Hong Kong Elite Athletes Association to continue the launch of the “Active School” project, so that more students can participate in interesting sports activities. It encourages children to be more active and develop good habits of doing sports from an early age, and helps them to develop healthily, physically, mentally and socially. The project has benefited 167 primary schools and over 24,900 primary school students, making the schools a more energetic and positive place.”

“Active School – Run With Your Heart” has set up the primary school group, the secondary school group, the parent-child group (children who are 4 years old or above can team up with parents), sports team group, disciplinary service group, the disabled group and loving group (i.e., an open group), and a number of special awards have been set up, such as the “Most Creative Costume Team”, which encourages runners to be creative and makes the relay run more interesting. In addition to the relay race, there are a variety of charitable fund-raising activities, including Song Request Station, Supermarket, Unicycle and Floor Curling Fun, so that participants can do good things while engaging in different kinds of sports and welcoming the Christmas holidays healthily. This year’s “Active School – Run With Your Heart” is one of the key events of the “2018 Sha Tin Festival”.

Together We Care 2019

Together We Care 2019

Today, November 10, 2019- Hong Kong Elite Athletes Association and the event main sponsor Hong Kong Jockey Club, the co-organiser YWCA, the sponsoring organisation Li Ning, Watsons Distilled Water and Unicycling Association of Hong Kong, and the supporting organisation Hong Kong Sports Institute joined hands today to launch the ” Together We Care 2019″.

Together We Care initiated by elite athletes has walked into its 15^th year this year. It has been held successfully in the past and is launched again this year. A number of Hong Kong elite athletes have teamed up with volunteers from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA) to form a volunteer group of more than 1,800 people, who have visited 2,500 single-living and low-income families in 11 districts, including Sai Wan, Sai Wan Ho, Quarry Bay, Kowloon City , Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin, Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, Ho Man Tin, Tsing Yi, Tuen Mun, Sha Tin, Fanling, Sheung Shui, Ta Kwu Ling rural villages, sending them love and warmth.

This year, in the “Together We Care 2019”, the volunteers have also practiced the “Just · Simple” project, mainly by reducing waste through a simple life. Simple life is a way of doing justice, and it can also be interpreted as “very simple”, or practice is not difficult, which encourages action. As for the “Just”, it means “righteousness” and “volunteer”. “Just · Simple” is promoted mainly through voluntary activities, supporting the needs of the poor, helping the poor through personal visits to the vulnerable families, and environmental protection concepts and methods. Vulnerable families include low-income families, newly arrived families, families living in subdivided flats, street sleepers, seniors living alone, and families with children with special learning needs.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is the largest charitable public welfare organisation in Hong Kong. As the main sponsor of the campaign, in addition to funding, the Jockey Club has mobilised more than 140 volunteers to participate in the campaign. Mr. Raymond Tam Chi-yuen, Executive Director of Corporate Affairs of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, and representatives of elite athletes, paid home visits to those living alone and showed them care.

Ms. Malina Ngai Man-lin JP, Vice-President of the Hong Kong Elite Athletes Association, said: “Hong Kong athletes are now actively preparing for next year’s Tokyo Olympics and are making unremitting efforts to win glory for Hong Kong. Today, they have extended this spirit of pursuing excellence to community and public welfare services. By launching the “Together We Care”, we hope to encourage more citizens to join the volunteer groups to show care for the elderly and those in need. “
