Henan Business News (reporter Xiong Zhuotian text/photo/video) autumn high and refreshing, the breeze is not dry, the sunshine is just right!
At 9:00 a.m. on October 22, the 23rd Hope Marathon in Henan started with a whistle in Zhengzhou Zhilin Park. Olympic champion Sun Tiantian led the way, and there were "anti-cancer stars" shouting on the spot!
Pleasant and crisp birdsong, leafy trees, large areas of lawn... In the CBD of Zhengdong New District, where land is scarce, there are large oases hidden --- the forest of Zhengzhou. This oasis hidden in the middle of the city is full of unknown beauty, and on October 22, it also carries "hope".
Running lights up hope. The Henan Business Daily reporter saw at the scene that with the sound of the starting whistle, more than 400 caring people wearing red and blue love clothes, such as medical workers, anti-cancer stars, and enterprise workers, rushed out of the starting line together and ran for "hope" with confident, steady and solid steps.
Olympic champion Sun Tiantian, as the frontrunner, was also the first to rush out with a smile, cheering and cheering for everyone! And called on everyone to actively participate in physical exercise as early as possible to improve immunity. "Exercise for an hour a day, work healthy for 50 years, and live happily for a lifetime!"
It is worth mentioning that in today's "running" team, there are still many "anti-cancer stars". They waved flags, looked up, and proved themselves with their actions.
Ms. Liu Ling, 64 years old this year, is a "cancer star" who has struggled with cancer for 20 years, she told the Henan Business Daily reporter that it is important to actively treat cancer, but the mentality is more important and must be integrated into society. "I am a patient with advanced ovarian cancer, and I was once told that I had only 3 months left in my life, but you see, I have been fighting cancer for 20 years, and my spirit is still very good!"
Liu Ling said that among this group of "anti-cancer stars", there are breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, kidney cancer... There are also 16, 20, 28 years of fighting cancer..." We all have a common goal, which is to live actively and convey to everyone that cancer does not equal death. She shouted excitedly at the scene.
In addition to running for "hope", this activity also organized caring enterprises and individuals to raise donations, and the funds raised were all handed over to the China Cancer Foundation by the Henan Cancer Foundation to popularize scientific anti-cancer knowledge, fund poor cancer patients, and promote cancer prevention and control research.
Zhang Jiangong, secretary of the party committee and president of Henan Cancer Hospital, said: "I call on the whole society to care for cancer patients, care about and support the cause of cancer prevention and control, dedicate a love, gather great strength, and build a great wall of health!" ”
