08:04, 2014/11/10
Despite cold and rainy weather, thousands of residents and international community in Hanoi gathered at the gate of the Reunification Park to take part in Hanoi Run for children 2014.
The annual event is co-organised by the Embassy of Canada to Vietnam, the Vietnam-Canada Friendship Association (VCFA) and others.
 
Vice President of the Vietnam-Canada Friendship Association Nguyen Thuy Anh emphasized that the Hanoi Run For Children 2014 is a fine manifestation of the community to strengthen people-to-people links, and promote mutual understanding and friendhip between the Vietnamese and Canadian peoples as well as international friends.
Established in 2000 (formerly known as the Terry Fox Run Hanoi before a change of format in 2009),
the event is recognized as a popular corporate/family team building activity that promotes social responsibility while raising awareness about healthcare issues in Vietnam.
So far, the Run has raised more than VND4 billion to support poor children. In 2013 alone, it drew the participation of 5,000 people and received a donation of over VND1 billion to assist underprivileged children with cancer and congenital heart disease.
The run aims to raise funds to treat underprivileged children with cancer and heart disease and support local hospitals.
