HCM CITY (VNS) — This year's 10th Lawrence S. Ting charity walk has raised about VND3 billion (US$143,000) from sponsors, organisers and individuals since the campaign was launched about three months ago.

All proceeds will be donated to the fund set up to help the poor in districts 7, 8, Nha Be and Binh Chanh and a foundation that aids sporting talents of HCM City's Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

More than 14,000 people will take part in the walk that will be flagged off in Ban Nguyet (Crescent) Lake in HCM City's District 7 tomorrow. — VNS
