Full of Hope and Heart
EL Hong Kong|December 2016 - January 2017

The Hong Kong Adventist Hospital Foundation (HKAHF) raises funds and awareness for a number of different causes. We went to find out more about two of the inspirational figures behind the Men of Hope campaign who are helping to shine a spotlight on children fighting congenital heart disease.

Full of Hope and Heart

“When you’re going through something as devastating as heart disease or caring for someone with it, sometimes you feel like there’s no one out there who can help; but there is.” These are comforting words from Geoff Cheah, one of the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital Foundation’s “Men of Hope”. His mission: to spread hope and inspire others to help families affected by congenital heart disease in children. It’s an affliction suffered by more than a million babies worldwide each year, according to US charity March of Dimes, but today the majority of children born with the disease will survive with timely medical treatment. However, for those unable to afford private coverage, the wait for lifesaving surgery in a public hospital can be agonising. This is where the Men of Hope step in.
