Hong Kong, Shanghai and Macao Braintrekkers Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours In October 2021, Hong Kong’s Braintrekkers welcomed the addition of Shanghai Braintrekkers and Macao Braintrekkers to do a massive Walk Around the World for Brain Tumours. Hong Kong Braintrekkers let the IBTA know that they walked 3513 kms, Shanghai Braintrekkers walked 960 kms and Macao Braintrekkers walked 618 kms. Kilometres were also collected from Braintrekkers in other regions. An amazing total of 5,185 kms was achieved, breaking all previous records. The organisers of Braintrekking 2021 said: “We hope, through this annual event and the amazing mileage achieved, greater numbers of people in the world will come to learn more about brain tumours and join hands in the battle against this neurological disease. On this side of the globe, we will continue to put our best efforts into optimising medical treatment for brain tumour patients and providing essential support for carers and families. We’re also looking forward to Braintrekking 2022!” n
