Jockey Club “DS POWER” Holistic Wellness Support Project – Sharing Seminar cum Members’ Workshop was successfully held on June 7. On that day, we invited the responsible research team of the project, including Professor Sam Chan Tsz Chung from the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at The HK Polytechnic University, our professional advisor Mr. Kenneth Liang, and our occupational therapist, Dr. James Lee, to share research findings and conduct training demonstrations.

Two carers of members with Down Syndrome who joined as intensive cases, were also invited to share their experiences of how the program alleviates caregiver stress while enabling the Down syndrome community to better equip themselves for addressing early aging issues.

Recently, the LRC hosted its annual swimathon fundraising event, where 12 members of the Down’s Swimming Team joined with 56 swimmers from the LRC in this charitable event. Together, they completed 274,367 meter and raising over $180,000.

The funds raised will be directed towards enhancing the Down’s Swimming Programme, covering training, equipment, and competition expenses. This summer, the team has been invited to compete in the Special Olympics swimming competition in Macau, and also to participate in the Hong Kong Special Olympics event in November.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the LRC for their ongoing support, enabling our swimmers continue to advance and shine.
