Around 10,000 people will take part in the Run for Children 2012 which is scheduled on November 25 at Thien Quang Lake, in downtown Ha Noi.

This event is aimed at raising awareness and compassion among Hanoians, businesses, the Canadian community and international friends who study and live in Viet Nam.

All proceeds will be used to fund programmes for sick children from poor families at the Ha Noi Heart Hospital, the National Hospital of Paediatrics, and Viet NamHeart Beat Fund. Funds will be raised from cash donations by participants, T-shirt and food sales, and corporate sponsorship.-VNS
