Proceeds from UNICEF Charity Run 2023 will contribute to UNICEF global services in areas of health, nutrition, water and hygiene, and other children rights related initiatives.
Run for every child, safeguard good health and well-being!
Even though the Pandemic is finally behind us, its negative impacts on physical and mental health of our next generation still Linger. A UNICEF’s report finds that 1 in 7 young people live with diagnosed mental health disorder, and an estimated 45,800 adolescents die by suicide each year – the fifth most prevalent cause of death for people aged 10-19*. Here in Hong Kong, close to 60% secondary school students show symptoms of anxiety#. Moderate level of exercise can improve our resilience, physical and mental health. World Health Organization also recommends children and adolescents aged 5-17 should do at least an average of 60 minutes of physical activity per day.
Health and well-being are important at every stage of one’s life, starting from the beginning. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – Good Health and Well-being aims to ensure healthy lives for all, and to avoid needless suffering from preventable diseases and premature death. Let’s run towards a brighter future, for you, for us, and for every child.
UNICEF works in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across more than 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.
And we never give up.
