Our Events

Maggie’s Centre has brought together a group of cancer patients, survivors, and their loved ones to participate for the first time in the "Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races" 2025!

We hope this initiative will encourage cancer patients, and the funds raised will be used to enhance and promote our free cancer support services. These services provide timely, appropriate, and ongoing physical, emotional, and spiritual support tailored to people affected by cancer, improving their psychological well-being and quality of life, and empowering them to take charge of their lives again.

Please show your support for "Move for Maggie’s Dragon Boat Team" and cheer on our rowers!
