Inspiration and Mission

​
Childhood obesity in Hong Kong is growing to be a tremendous concern.
​
The Journal of Pediatrics reported that the number of cases of type two diabetes among Hong Kong Chinese under the age of 19 increased tenfold from 1997 to 2007 - This trend concerns many individuals across Hong Kong, and the consequences of the disease include heart disease, asthma, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer. This staggering reality is one of the primary reasons behind why Run For Charity is organising The Foam Run. Our Mission is to raise significant funds and to donate them to the Hong Kong Institution of Diabetes and Obesity.

We hope that event this will bring encouragement and awareness to the lives of people who suffer from Diabetes, and promote a trend towards staying fit, eating healthily, and exercising regularly.
