Students Raise $75,000 in 24-Hour Race to Combat Human Trafficking

At the 24-Hour Race seven AISHK teams of runners raced around the Peak, raising funds and awareness to end human trafficking, from 29-30 November.

The teams collectively raised over $75,000HKD on behalf of Hog Kong charity- Sons and Daughters, that fights trafficking here in Hong Kong through frontline work and The Freedom Story, a charity based in Thailand that provides at-risk youth with education to help them avoid falling into the cycle of trafficking. Additionally- race participants entered a raffle to help raise funds for the recent tragic fires in Tai Po. 

The 24-Hour Race is organised by students, and we are proud to have contributed multiple student directors to the race in the last few years. We also have a member of staff on the board of RTSTT (Running To Stop The Traffik) the charity that hosts the event.
