Cooler temperatures and wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits of participants at the annual Run of Hope on Sunday, November 25. A total of 350 people took part in the annual charity fundraiser. We had a great turn out from our TIS community dressed up as their superhero alter egos. Mr. Nick Chignall held onto his reign as fastest male, coming in first place at 21:06 minutes. Ms. Caitlin Bass also kept her champion status as fastest female runner finishing at 23:15 minutes, closely followed by Ms. Amy Clack at 27:41 minutes.
We would like to thank our vendors who continue to support Run of Hope every year by donating generously to this great cause. Thank you to Future Bright Group, Novocare Dental Centre, Ming Shun Construction and Property Investment Ltd, and Chong Ou Travel Agency Ltd.
Also a big thank you to all our student volunteers who acted as human arrows and middle school leadership team who kept the children entertained with ball games and face painting despite the rain.
Proceeds will be donated to the Kiang Wu Cancer Department and the China Evangeline Fellowship Orphanage in Macao. Inspired by Terry Fox, the Run of Hope is organised by the Four Seasons Hotel and supported by partners The International School of Macao and CanCham Macao. The event celebrated it’s 10th anniversary this year.
