St. Margaret's Co-educational English Secondary and Primary School's Hong Kong 24 Hour Race Team

Hello!

Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page. We are students from St. Margaret's Co-educational English Secondary and Primary School who have pledged to run the Hong Kong 24 Hour Race 2014 by Running to Stop the Traffik and join the fight against human slavery. 

On the 15th and 16th of November, we ran for 24 hours at the top of the iconic tourist spot in Hong Kong- The Peak. A lap is 3.2KM long, and we ran 384KM in total! The race is an international youth movement that aims to raise aware and funds for grassroots charities actively fighting against this injustice. Students across Southeast Asia (Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore)ran in huge relay style endurance event for 24 successive hours.

Human slavery is the world's fastest growing international crime where people are bought and forced into horrible situations that in any other circumstance, they would never agree to and organ donations, forced labour, sex slavery are just some of the injustices that fall under this category. 

 All the money we raise  will go to RTST  - a non-profit organization and the excess funds will be donated to 5 beneficiary charities through the race's charity partner The Mekong Club once costs have been covered. Partner beneficiaries include Freedom Matters, APLE Cambodia, Blue Dragon Children's Foundation, HOME and SUKA Society. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. By donating to one of our fundraising pages (listed on the side), you can help us smash this goal and really make a difference.

 By taking part in this event, we aim to show that young people have the ability to make a change in the society. It would be amazing if you can support us in making a difference in other people’s lives by donating.

Thank you for your generosity and contributions to a better future.
