Marathon Charity Programme 2024

The Hong Kong Blind Union (HKBU) is one of the beneficiary organizations of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2024 "Marathon Charity Program." We have 11 visually impaired runners, along with their guide runners, who will collectively run over 280km on 21 January, 2024 to raise funds for HKBU, to support services for the visually impaired.

We believe that even with limited vision, visually impaired runners can still run far. Please donate and support our runners with any amount, as together we can help them step out of darkness, run towards the light, and embody the belief that "Running Blind, Running Far".

【Donate to Support】

#Please support our runners
#Together we run further!
