Let's go marathon!
15th April, 2008.

You speed ahead, strong and vibrant; I follow your steps, together we face challenges …
No matter how fast or slow we run, it’s the supporting friendship that makes us proud

The Organizing Committee of Social Work Day has asked workers to participate in marathon and in the end over 120 social workers and students have joined us. We run together and let our confidence, persistence and never give-up spirit shine.

Let’s share some of the onsite photos!

5 am in the morning: Teachers and students of Caritas Francis Hsu College have already arrived at the Victoria Park and raised the Social Work Day banner!

Breakfast time! Fill the stomach and faster we can run!

7 am in the morning: The Organizing Committee Convenor of Social Work Day, Mr. H.W. Choi has already finished the 10km run. He is satisfied with himself for this first-time marathon experience.

The chairlady of BGCA Staff Association insisted to finish the whole course even she has injured her knees. Well done!

Finally finished the 10km run, let’s take photos together.

Rat Lady: I’m very hungry. The banana is delicious.

The gentleman with sunglasses has only used 2 hours to finish half-marathon. Wow!

He has also only used around 2 hours and is still keeping his pace in the last 50m.

Mr. K.W. Ma of Senior Citizen Home Safety Association looks so smart with his cap.

Other activities include 2 surveys (social workers’ work satisfaction and social workers in the eyes of clients) and a conference (family). Please refer to the Social Work Day website http://www.socialworkday.org.hk
