As the sun rose on Sunday February 4th, a large number of enthusiastic hikers made their way to the New Territories in Hong Kong and the Hok Tau Country Park to participate in this year's Hike for Hospice.

The Hike for Hospice has been run every year since 1992. The Hike challenges the participants physically in the most beautiful surroundings of Hong Kong, and at the same time, it raises funds and extends support to terminally ill patients and their families in the community.

For the sixth time now, Crown Worldwide Chairman, Jim Thompson took the lead in the hike along with his team of colleagues: Billy Wong, Veronica Chan and Anastasia Vuong. Following suit was Crown’s second team, which consisted of Phil Britton, Sherry Liu, Chris Davis-Pipe and Susanne Osterholm.

The Society for the Promotion of Hospice Care, founded in 1986, is committed to promoting hospice and palliative care and providing bereavement support to people facing the loss of a loved one.
