Dear Alumni and Wahyanites,
The Past Students' Associations of WYHK and WYK, in collaboration with both schools and the schools' Parent-Teacher / Parents’ Associations, are launching the Wah Yan Medical Information on COVID-19 Support Scheme, under which a group of Wah Yan (Hong Kong and Kowloon) alumni medical practitioners will endeavour to provide general medical advice to members of our Wah Yan community on COVID-19.
The scope of medical advice offered will be general in nature, provided from the perspective of a generalist medical practitioner, and will be limited to aspects of prevention (esp. vaccination) and self-care for COVID-19 patients or close contacts. The medical advice is not meant to cover government policies and operations (e.g. quarantine period, quarantine arrangement).
The Terry Fox Foundation is so grateful to WYKAAO for contributing $4,255.00 to the 2021 Terry Fox Run. It is because of you, and your Team's efforts, that life-changing cancer research will continue to receive funding during this challenging year. We can’t thank you enough for your continued leadership, energy, and passion.
With the generous donations from our supporters, Team WYKAAO once again exceeded the target this year and raised a total of $4,255 for Terry Fox Foundation. Big thanks go to our team members who had collectively contributed to the success of our participation in the Terry Fox Run held virtually second year in a row due to the pandemic.
Team WYKAAO continues to participate in Terry Fox Run 2021, the second year that the event will be held virtually, on Sunday September 19. Follow this link to see our past fundraising history. Click here to join and/or support us.
On Saturday August 7, WYKAAO Board of Directors visited a new long-term care centre in Stouffville operated by Mon Sheong Foundation, a charity organization where a number of WYKAAO members are volunteers.
Because of the pandemic, Terry Fox Run 2020 was a virtual run held on Sunday September 20. We leave it up to our team members to choose how to celebrate their Terry Fox effort – walk, run, dance, hike – on a favourite route of their own. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the event. One of our team members, Teddy Cheung (’00), was pictured here with his lovely family doing the Run at a park. Our team has collectively raised over $4,200 so far this year thanks to generous donations from our supporters!
