Detail: The 2013 Sedan Chair Race will be held on October 27, 2013. It consists of teams carrying sedan chairs racing around the Peak on a route (2.1km), starting from The Matilda International Hospital.
Background: The annual Sedan Chair Race is the main fundraising event of the Sedan Chair Charities Fund. The fund raised goes to support charitable organisations that generally do not receive assistance from the Hong Kong Community Chest, Hong Kong Jockey Club or the Government – none go to the Matilda International Hospital.
To date, the Sedan Chair Race has raised over $63.3 million for Hong Kong charities with Granville Sharp’s legacy of Matilda continuing its support to Hong Kong’s needy.
