Rainbow Missions is going to host a first ever Walkathon event on May 20. Our fundraising team is so excited about the event. Even though it involved a lot of preparation work, such as finding sponsorship, designing posters, creating a promotion video etc., we had fun during the planning process. Let’s see what our team thinks about the event……

I have never participated in a walkathon before. I didn’t know what to expect. One day, when I was at the Luther Burbank Park for the first time to take some photos, I realized the park is so big that it has a lot to offer. I am very excited to have my first walkathon there! I can’t wait to see everyone there, with or without the blindfold!

I am so glad to have a chance to participate in the first walkathon event hosted by Rainbow Missions. One day, our fundraising team went to the Luther Burbank Park and tried to experience the walk. When I blindfolded my eyes, I was totally insecure and I really felt not good. Through the event, I understand more about how the blind people live and take care of themselves and experience how they feel when they cannot see. So… come and join us. Let us do something for this group of people!

It is difficult to start a new project! This is how I am going to describe this walkathon! Two years ago, RM started to plan a charity walk for the younger generation. However, the idea was put aside due to many factors. It was not until the beginning of this year did we finally determine to host this event. Since this is our first time to organize this type of event, I have done a lot of data collection and consultation, hoping no mistake is made. During preparation, every detail is a lesson to me. Now it’s promotion time. I hope to see a lot of people to participate. This will not only raise money for the children with disabilities in China, but is also a personal experience by simulating a blind person walking in the dark by using eye-mask during the walk. It is such a meaningful activity! I am earnestly looking forward to your participation.
彩虹工程將於五月二十日舉行第一個的步行籌款活動。我們的籌款小組對於是次活動感到十分興奮。雖然有很多籌備的工作，例如聯絡贊助商、設計宣傳海報和影片等等，我們卻樂在其中。讓我們看看小組組員對於這次活動有什麼分享:

我從來沒有參加過步行籌款的活動，也不知道該怎麼期待。有一天，當我第一次去到路德伯班克公園拍照的時侯，我意識到這個公園十分大和有足夠的地方給予我們活動。我對這一次的步行籌款活動感到非常興奮。不論你有沒有蒙上眼睛參與，我也期待著看見你們的來臨！

我非常開心能夠有機會參與彩虹工程舉辦的首個步行籌款活動。一天，我們籌備組到了路德伯班克公園看場地和試驗步行。當我把眼睛蒙上的時候，我感到非常的不好和沒有安全感。透過這個活動，我明白了更多有關盲人的生活方式，也體驗了失去視覺的感覺。所以…歡迎你們前來參與，讓我們為盲人也出一分力吧！

萬事起頭難，這句話用在今次的步行籌款是最恰當不過的。彩虹兩年前已經希望舉行一個以年青人為主的步行籌款活動，但由於很多因素便擱置了。直至今年初，我們下定決心要計劃和籌備這活動。由於這是第一次舉辦這類型活動，所以我做了很多資料搜集和咨詢，希望做到沒有什麼錯漏。在預備中每一個細節都是一個學習。現在就是宣傳的時間，我很希望能有多人參加，不單是為了籌款給中國殘障兒童，也讓我們親身體驗失明人士在黑暗中行走的活動，因為我們是會帶著眼罩完成步行的。那麼有意義的活動，希望有很多人響應。
