今年，我們將舉行「大和香港50th X CareER 潛能無限線上慈善跑2020」，以「敢想・敢動・敢堅持」為主題，為CareER籌款之餘，同時亦希望以我們的故事鼓勵大家，一起衝破困境。

2020 has been a year full of difficulties and challenges for everyone. While we often associate people with disabilities with perseverance, we have no choice but to keep persevering.
CareER was established in 2014, committed to serving higher educated students with disabilities through providing comprehensive career support, job matching services, and establishing a peer support network. Adhering to the concept of #TalentNoBoundaries, CareER provides support and guidance to higher educated students with disabilities to maximize their potentials and achieve their career goals.
In the past few years, we have witnessed many inspiring stories of perseverance from our alumni network. These stories not only encourage more people with disabilities to persevere, but also encourage their friends and family, and the public to understand our talents.
This year, we will hold the “Daiwa HK 50th X CareERRunnERthon Online 2020” with the theme of “Run for Dreams and be Perseverant” to raise funds for CareER. We hope our stories may inspire and encourage everyone to overcome the difficulties together across districts/country borders.
