My Story

Hi there! I really appreciate you taking the time to view this page <3 On the 25th of January, I plan to take part in the Hong Kong Standard Chartered Marathon 2015 and run a half marathon for charity – something I’ve never done before. I consider myself to be athletic but not when it comes to long distance running. My main motivation for taking up this challenge is to support the work of Viva. Viva helps to change the lives of children and orphans suffering from abuse, poverty, unclean water, homelessness, and hunger – hardships children should never have to endure. I first unknowingly encountered Viva in 2010 when I met two humble volunteers at an orphanage during a service trip in the Philippines. Little did I know that they were in fact the National Directors of Viva in Hong Kong; I only realized it when they came to speak at my church nearly two years ago. Since then I have been passionately involved in doing all that I can to contribute to Viva’s cause. Please visit www.viva.org when you have the time (: Through simplygiving.com you can make safe and secure donations to sponsor me. The proceeds of your support are sent directly to Viva. Using this platform is really simple, and most importantly it’s a cost efficient way for the charity to raise funds. Having this page is the perfect way to track my progress, so feel free to share the link, express some encouragement, or maybe even get involved yourself (: It will definitely help to keep me going! I am trying to raise an ambitious target of 5,000 hkd for vulnerable children, and together with a team of over 50 other Viva runners, we hope to raise half a million hkd. Please dig deep and donate! Every little counts! Thank you so very much!! Abi
