Step-Up for Wellness to Pursue Public Good

'Step-Up for Wellness' will be held at over 30 SHKP residential estates between 24 September and 23 October.  Participants will receive a stamp and fitness tips after they have fulfilled a specific daily goal, which will be shown in the pedometer provided by their clubhouses or in the step counter in the 'SHKP Vertical Run for Charity' mobile app. Participants joining the campaign could borrow the pedometer from their clubhouses. The campaign is divided into two tiers, namely 'Wellness' and 'Fitness' which have different requirements and daily goals. Participants will receive rewards, such as FUJI Water, limited-edition waterproof mobile phone pocket, aLIVE whole grain strawberry yoghurt muesli bar and a limited-edition sports bum bag, according to the number of stamps in hand.  In addition, those who have completed the mission on 'Challenge Days' and  got five challenge stamps may also receive special prizes.  Prizes are awarded on a first-come-first-served basis.  Besides, estates participating in Step-Up for Wellness will be eligible for 'King of Stairclimbing' and the 'Most Supportive Estate' awards.
