With the aim of promoting social inclusion and a healthy lifestyle among those with intellectual disabilities, “iRun” has become a signature event in the rehabilitation service sector. This year, the Event attracted a record 3,500 participants, including participants from Macau, Taiwan and Guangdong Province. The Event also received support from 8 corporations which sent staff to participate in the 3K Corporate Tournament, including the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Citigroup Inc., Belle International Holdings Limited, Hyatt Regency Sha Tin, MTR, Ocean Park, Hopewell Holdings Limited and Towngas.

To celebrate the 145th anniversary of TWGHs and further enhance awareness of social inclusion, 145 pairs of able and intellectually disabled persons were invited to participate in the Guinness World Record Attempt – “HUG for Inclusion” Longest Hug Relay by simply “hugging” each other. With the avid support and cheerful participation of the participants, the attempt was successfully accomplished and recognized by the Guinness World Records as the “Longest Hug Relay” in the world.

Two participants got precious experience of being Chinese Medicine Dispenser and Assistant at TWGHs Wilson T.S. Wang Centre of Integrated Health Management and TWGHs Jockey Club Chinese Medicine Dispensary. Besides assisting in doing acupuncture on the patient, they had a try at dispensing the prescription. After working at the Chinese medicine dispensary and the centre for a day, both participants had a more in-depth understanding of the job. They also admired the professionalism and attentiveness of the Chinese Medicine Dispenser and Assistant.
