Thanks to our 58 generous supporters, Team WYKAAO raised a good sum for the Terry Fox Run Foundation to fight cancer. We beat last year's goal by a short nose (5010/4900). It was a beautiful day for the run/walk. Our youngest member made a 10 Km Run, while others walked comfortably in the sun. After the event, they all visited the quaint village farmers' market.

(2012.02.04) Mr. Laurence Tam writes from Hong Kong, "... The art event I took part today was the Prize Presentation Ceremony for the “Young Geniuses: Art Competition-cum-Exhibition 2012” at the Lam Woo Conference Centre of the Baptist University. This competition/exhibition aims to promote and develop young children’s creativity at the age range of 1 to 6, and to raise the awareness of parents and teachers on the significance of nurturing children’s creativity. The idea of the event was first put forward by Prof. Dominic Lam, a past student of Wah Yan College, Hong Kong. He is the Head of the University's newly created Institute of Creativity (IoC). The mission of the IoC is to explore mechanisms by which creative talents can be developed and nurtured.
On a cloudy Sunday in September, Team WYKAAO showed up at the Unionville Public Library registration desk. After a short speech by the local organizers in the front lawn on Terry Fox' fight for the cure of cancer, participants started their Run/Walk along the scenic country path along the Toogood Pond. Some of our members undertook the 5-km route and some negotiated the short cut on a bridge across the beautiful pond.
For the effort of the Jeff Mah family with his sister-in-law, Ms Monica Tang, Ms Gertrude Chan, Eric Li, Alan Leong and Anthony Ho, Team WYKAAO raised close to C$6,000.00 for this worthy cause. Click here to view the photo album.
Thanks to your generosity, WYKAAO was able to raise $7,000.00 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
