100km Hike for special-needs children on the Maclehose trail

  • 18/02/2021 - 30/04/2021

Jack, Jaden, Gabriel, and Martin is fundraising for The Child Development Centre

Please donate to support the education of special needs children in Hong Kong!

My Story

We are Jack (team leader), Jaden, Gabriel, and Martin, four year 12 secondary students who are going to hike the full 100km MacLehose trail, the longest trail in Hong Kong, spanning from one end to the other. Not only is that really far, but there will also be 5,053m of elevation gain... for perspective, the hike from base camp to the top of mount Everest has only 3,489m of elevation gain! We will do this over three consecutive days from the 27th-29th of March.

We will be donating money to the Child Development Center, a non profit organisation dedicated to helping young children with special needs to get personalised education, assessment, and therapy. They help children anywhere on the wide spectrum of special educational needs, including those with learning difficulties, developmental delay, autism, Down’s syndrome and physical disabilities. They even help educate parents, helping them with anything they might need when raising special needs children. This organisation is very close to Jack's heart, as he has a younger sister with downs syndrome, and understands the difficulties that families face when raising and educating special needs children to reach their full potential, which is something that every child deserves. Money donated to CDC will go towards programme and service expenses, allowing them to aid even more families, and provide even better care with their top notch teaching specialists and therapists. Furthermore, it is no doubt that under the current COVID-19 pandemic, non profit organisations like this will be impacted the most, so any money donated will be especially helpful now more than ever.

We would really appreciate your support on our journey and cause!
