Dr. Francis Ho was always dedicated to the Stroll for Liver. Last year at the age of 89, Dr. Ho followed COVID protocols by staying home, but still walked 300 paces around his house each day, up to 5,000 paces, total. He did this because he believed in the importance of funding liver research, education and essential liver transplant science. Dr. Ho passed away in February of 2021, but his passion lives on through The Ho's Benevolence Association of BC. This is a group of more than 20 families, who together, work to raise funds and awareness for various causes - with liver health at the centre of their focus. As many of the Ho’s Members are over 75 years old, they tackle the Stroll in their own way - any physical activity counts. Some members walk, stroll through gardens, and move around their houses, while others stretch their arms and minds with Mahjong. Some others take it a step further and pledge to ski, bike and hike their way through the Stroll. Will you join them?This year, we invite you to register yourself and fundraise for vital liver research. The need has never been greater and your involvement will have a massive impact.Although Dr. Ho is no longer with us, his spirit continues. Together, we walk in his honour. We walk for health. We walk for research. We walk for change. Please join us and register as an individual or as a team right now. bit.ly/3yTXdy4 ... See MoreSee Less
