Rhoda runs HK4TUC for IHKSports

In 2012, I participated in the 78km race of the Raleigh Challenge for the first time in my life. My teammates were injured and it took us more than 24 hours to complete the course. Although our limbs were numb and energy was drained after crossing the finish line, we were extremely overwhelmed. Never had we used our own body to experience the winding mountain trails that the students had to overcome going to school on a daily basis. At the same time, we raised funds for health services for a group of 100 children living in harsh conditions with scarce water resources.

Over the Chinese New Year holidays, I will be running the iconic Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge to raise funds for the four charities dearest to my heart: Drop of Life, Faith in Love Foundation, RUN Hong Kong and Inspiring Hong Kong Sports Foundation. Being involved in each of these organisations has led me to discover new things. We are equals in that we each contribute by adding our own experience and value.

By running HK4TUC, my aim is to raise HK$ 400,000 for four local non-profit charities so as to promote local sports education in Hong Kong. Ultimately, I hope that more can receive the joy of participating in sports and benefit from live-changing sports experiences.
