Maple Bear runs
for children
Maple Bear teachers
and staff showed their
support by participating
in the Hanoi Run for Chil-
dren 2012 to raise money
for the medical care of
underprivileged children
who suffer from cancer
and heart disease. Cold
and rainy weather did not
reduce the enthusiasm
of nearly 10 thousand
participant who together
raised VND648 million.
The run was inspired by
Terry Fox, who embarked
on a cross-Canada run
to raise awareness and
funds for cancer research.
Although he died at the
age of 22, his campaign
spread around the world
and involved millions.
