About runners:
Joseph Chen is currently working at the Chinese Mental Health Association as a Counsellor & Youth worker. He used to run 10K in Taiwan many years ago, so wish to brush his skill up this time and become healthier, not just shape his fat figure... Also, run for charity means a lot to him, especially run for people who need mental health support, since 1 out 4 may suffer from depression. Your kindness will definitely change someone's life for the better!
Naranbaatar Damidandorj, he is immensely excited about participating this year's 10k marathon. He is a volunteer for Chinese Mental Health Association has been with it for a year. He has learned a lots of new things during his volunteering experience.

He hope we will succeed in fundraising for our organisation through this event.
