🏃♀️ Trish Runs for The Women’s Foundation
In January 2026, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes and taking on a
marathon; this is a huge personal challenge for me, and I'm doing it
because supporting women truly matters. I know how capable and
inspiring women leaders are, and I’ve also seen firsthand how
outdated systems and expectations hold us back. That’s why I’m
running, to help break down those barriers and create more
opportunities for women to thrive.
With each kilometer I run, I raise funds for The Women’s Foundation, a Hong Kong-based non-profit organization that’s close to my heart. Their work to empower women and girls through education, mentorship, and advocacy is something I’ve proudly supported over the years, as a mentor on two corporate women’s programmes and as a member of one of their advisory committees.
💛 Why It Matters
Despite progress, women and girls in Hong Kong, and around the world, still face real barriers:
- Women earn nearly 30% less than men on average.
- Fewer than 30% of public council members are women.
- Many women leave the workforce due to caregiving responsibilities, limiting their economic independence and leadership opportunities.
These aren’t just numbers; they represent real lives, real potential, and real change waiting to happen.
💙 How You Can Help
I’m running to raise awareness and funds for programmes that:
- Mentor girls and young women
- Support women’s leadership and career development
- Advocate for policy change and gender equality
Your donation, big or small, will directly support these initiatives and help build a more inclusive future.
I'd be so grateful for your support, especially a donation, a share, and/or a cheer along the way. Every bit helps, and it all goes toward creating more opportunities for women.
👉Please donate today.
