轉貼 Various updates - Marathon 2009 and Cheung Chung Pan

……
1. Marathon 2009
Our Marathon Team has got 146 members now. The final clinic on 11 Jan was attended by over 80 members. Pictures of the session had been uploaded at http://www.wahyanonefamily.org/photo20090111.html. Moreover, Oriental Daily News has launched a full page report on our Dream Campaign and the Marathon today. (...... which will be uploaded together with other clippings this eve).

With regard to fundraising, we have received approx HK$700,000 thus far. Now if we want to build running a ritual in Wah Yan, we need to support these 140 pioneers to lead and sustain the drive. We are $1.3 million adrift of our $2 million goal now. And we are only 2 weeks away from our Race on 8 Feb 2009.

Therefore, may I appeal to you again to make a gift to support these lovely Wahyanites please? If we could get $30,000 (certainly the more the merrier) each from 40 supportive alumni/friends of Wah Yan like you and your classes, we will make it for the Team. You will keep these forerunners and our Dream going.

2. Cheung Chung Pan
Our alumni Chung Pan is recovering and his mother Mrs Cheung has sent us the 6th letter on his status. Please click: http://www.wahyanonefamily.org/doc/cheungChungPanNoteOfThanks140109.pdf for details. Mrs Cheung sent us another message yesterday as attached.

Please render your support to our 146-member Marathon Team by making a gift or referrals. The cohort will do their best on 8 February 2009. May we wish you and your family a peaceful and pleasant Year of the Ox! Many thanks.

Best wishes,
Monty

令人尊敬的周神父,受人尊重的蘇校長暨香港華仁舊生會,九龍華仁舊生會,家長會:

大家好!春節很快到了,願大家在新的一年身體健康,萬事如意!

今天仲斌要做第二次手術,因為膝蓋後面植下的皮掉下,露出像一張個人名片大的傷口滲血,同時要割掉長在腳背及腳踝周圍像釋迦似的角質肉牙,這些部位都要重新植皮.是昨天晚上十點半後院長巡房才決定的.十二點開始禁飲食了.

請大家放心.過去我以為划船打鼓都一雙手的,現在,划船有周神父,蘇校長,朱 sir,打鼓有整個華仁同仁..第一次手術成功切除掉38.5公斤,是神的力量及大家的幫忙和支持.這次,我們會更加勇敢地面對一切.希望繼續得到你們的幫忙與支持,手術成功後再向大家匯報.祝福各位:

喜樂平安!

健康常在!
