Nearly 5,000 volunteers from all walks of life set off for love, using the power of walking to call on the whole society to pay attention to hemophilia and other vulnerable children.
"Walk for Love" is a large-scale sports charity event in the Beijing area with high scale, influence, and social attention. Since 2012, it has been successfully held for seven consecutive years, attracting over 300 multinational companies and institutional employee volunteers, with more than 40,000 participants cumulatively, covering a total walking distance of over 200,000 kilometers.
To support the popularization of hemophilia knowledge, "Walk for Love" has carried out hemophilia awareness campaigns and public welfare topic dissemination for four consecutive years, encouraging the public to express their care and support for the hemophilia community through healthy exercise. By 2018, the Weibo topic related to World Hemophilia Day had received over 67 million views and more than 50,000 comments, influencing and guiding more people to learn about the real lives of hemophilia patients and work together for their future.
Mr. Guan Tao, Chairman of the Hemophilia Home, said: "We have always been committed to spreading knowledge about hemophilia and striving to create a more equal living and learning environment for hemophilia patients. With the continuous improvement of hemophilia diagnosis and treatment as well as national medical insurance policies, more and more hemophilia patients, especially children with hemophilia, are getting more opportunities to participate in and integrate into society. Care helps growth, and treatment brings change. We hope that with everyone's support, the future of hemophilia patients will get better and better!"
