四川赈灾，爱心漫步祈福日


　　（５．１２）中国四川八級大地震的惨剧，三分钟帶走数以万计計的宝贵生命，截至今日己造成六万五千多人死亡、万多人失踪、二十多万人受伤、数百万家园尽毁，可以說是人类世紀惨剧﹗
　　我们在众多的媒体电视、报纸和网络上，所見到一幅幅灾情照片，感同身受，不禁热泪盈眶，內心沉痛和情緒苦困，除了为受灾民众祈祷外，还可以做什么呢?
四川赈灾，爱心步行日活动，旨在对不幸遇难者表示我们的哀思，和对在灾难中幸存者作一些安慰和鼓励；並希望藉此通过活动团结一起，协手共勉，把因发生惨剧以來心情上的沉痛和抑郁情緒，在柔和的阳光下漫步，得到适当的疏解﹗重要的，希望在這活动，为四川大地震筹款赈灾。
人的本性是善良的，在地球村里，我们同是人类，让我们共同展现人性光辉的一面，捐款救助受灾民众。有你的到來，共同漫步，共同为遇难者祈福，对我们已是莫大的鼓励。

WALKATHON FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE SICHUAN EARTHQUAKE
In a matter of three minutes, tens of thousands of precious lives were taken away by the terrible Richter-8 scale earthquake in Sichuan, China. Up to the present moment, 65,000 people had lost their lives, with 200,000 injured and tens of thousands more still missing. One can hardly imagine how devastating such a tragedy had brought upon the people on the other side of the world.
The numerous pictures and film clips shown in the media, newspapers and websites have left us speechless and anguished. Tormented by a feeling of helplessness, we can only be crying over the horrendous plight of the victims, while praying for their loved ones.
The Walkathon for the Victims of Sichuan Earthquake aims to express our sympathy for the victims, as well as our solicitude and encouragement for those lucky survivors. It is our hope that the
Walkathon on a bright sunny day would unite everybody and free us from the sadness and sorrow that the heart-wrenching tragedy has plunged us into.  More importantly, during the activity, we look forward to raising money for the Sichuan Earthquake victims.
The very nature of human being is honesty and kindness. In this global village, all of us share the same destiny. Together, let us extend our solidarity for the victims by our generous donations. Your participation in this Walkathon for the victims will be a source of great encouragement for all of us.
Everybody is invited to this great cause!
Date of Walkathon: Saturday, June 7, 2008
Gathering time: 2:00PM
Walkathon start time: 4:00PM; 2 hours of walk
Gathering location: Sun Yat-Sen Park, Chinatown (corner of Clark and De La Gauchetière Ouest)
Vigil: 7:00PM to 9:00PM
