Hong Kong Angelman Walk Fundraising 2017

With a blink of an eye, Angelman Walk (Hong Kong station) returns!

One can never forget that just on June 9 last year, we created a miracle, witnessing nearly 800 participants with great tolerance and support walked in fearless spirit and smiles in Pak Shek Kok.

Every year in May and June, AS organizations around the world will organize walking fundraising campaigns to support the organization's operations and AS's research. In response to this AS big event this year, Angelman Walk 2017 (Hong Kong station) will take place from 2 pm to 5 pm on May 14 (Sunday, Mother's Day) at the Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre. It is estimated to take about an hour or so to finish a total length of 1,500 meters around the artificial lake walking trails.

Due to the restrictions in the site, this walk fundraising activity will be represented by the angel families. But we call on all friends who support HKASF to sponsor the angel families. The angel families can team up with the number of participants and the donations unlimited. Neither application form or sponsorship form is needed for this event. A crossed check or bank deposit receipt, specifying "Fundraising of Hong Kong Angelman Walk 2017"on the envelope can be sent to Box 709, Hong Kong Tsuen Wan Post Office. Or one can make donation through HKASF webpage to HKASF account. Donation receipt of more than HK$100 can be used for tax deduction purpose.

The concept of AS Walk organized by HKASF is to lead our little angel families bravely walk into the crowd, share our life with others for social communion. We would not forget our original intention and would adhere to the sincere care of all that care about us. Let us feel the warmth of the sun together on May 14, to breathe fresh air and have a good stretch of body and mind.

Your support is definitely our drive. We hope that your contribution helps to maintain the HKASF's regular operations. In the future, besides providing care, treatment opportunities, support services and assistance to Angelman Syndrome patients and their families in the community, HKASF will pay attention on the needs of the patients of other rare diseases and their families in Hong Kong and is committed to promoting and improving the effectiveness of families of social welfare sector in the community.

* Inspiration Lake is the largest man-made lake in Hong Kong. Lotus, red water lilies and other aquatic plants were planted in the lake. The lake scenery is beautiful and elegant with an artificial fountain able to produce 12 kinds of random changes in the water effect. Next to the lake is the lush grassland, on which you can picnic or walk in the shade of the stroll. Inspiration Lake has pedal boats and pedal tour bus rental services too, so whether it is rafting on Lake or riding on a pedal tour bus, enable you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake.
