Members of the Great Eagle running team ran alongside Olympic swimmers Stephanie Au, Camille Cheng and Jamie Yeung, as well as fellow participants, demonstrating the unifying power of sport. Through their individual race goals and collective determination, the runners transformed athletic perseverance into meaningful action, underscoring how sport can serve as a catalyst for positive social impact.

Empowering Communities Through the Power of Sport

By leveraging sport as a platform for social good, the Group aims to convert personal challenge into collective progress, reinforcing its long-term commitment to addressing evolving societal needs.

Community Engagement Ahead of the Race

In the lead-up to the Marathon, Great Eagle Group partnered with Mind The Waves to present the “Move. Breathe. Connect.” community event. The programme integrated physical activity with mindfulness experiences to raise public awareness of both physical and mental well-being, encourage meaningful community interaction, and strengthen a shared commitment to youth development through action.

Founded by Olympic swimmers Stephanie Au, Camille Cheng and Jamie Yeung, Mind The Waves is dedicated to promoting mental health education. The organisation delivers more than 50 community programmes annually, benefiting over 5,000 young people and families.

He emphasised that corporate responsibility extends beyond business performance, highlighting its essential role in advancing sustainable social progress.

Inspiring Young Lives Through Music
