This year, all donations raised by the charity run/walk will be shared between Blind Sports Hong Kong and the new APAO Satellite Congress educational program.

Blind Sports Hong Kong

The Shek Kip Mei Lutheran Centre for the Blind, part of the Lutheran Church Hong Kong Synod, has been encouraging and assisting visually impaired athletes in Hong Kong since 2008. Together with the Hong Kong Buddhist Association for the Blind, the new organization Blind Sports Hong Kong was established in 2012 to further support visually impaired runners. Currently, there are more than 130 athletes training in two different teams, who compete in races both at home and abroad.

APAO Satellite Congress

The aim of the newly created APAO Satellite Congress program is to bring APAO educational events to APAO member countries that have not yet had the opportunity to host an APAO Congress. The APAO Satellite Congress would take place as part of an APAO member society’s annual scientific meeting and include symposia organized by APAO.
