慈善健康跑是赛默飞自2016年就开展的公益项目,该项目通过创新的“你来跑,我来捐”的公益形式,在凝聚社会各界力量为患者群体发声的同时,筹集善款用于支持国内癌症的研究、教育以及援助项目,从而推进国民健康事业的发展。

2019赛默飞慈善健康跑吸引了1800名志愿者在全国10个城市参加。截至目前,已有超过12,500名赛默飞员工及合作伙伴参与,募集130万慈善款。善款通过上海儿童医学中心和中国妇女发展基金会等公益组织,支持血液肿瘤疾病和女性卵巢癌的研究、患者教育和扶助工作,并帮助提升社会对相关疾病的认知、防控和诊疗水平。

First launched in 2016, Charity Run is one of the biggest programs at Thermo Fisher that advocates employee engagement and social impacts. More people participated in the program, more donations we make. More miles participants run, more assistance we provide. Running is not only a way of keeping healthy but also a progress of fundraising. Most marathon runners reported they are proud of themselves for supporting cancer researches, education and programs. As a result, we are contributing to improving national health.

Last year, 1800volunteers participated in supporting the event and we were holding charity run in 10 cities. As of now, in total, there are 12,500 employees engaged in the charity running/ hiking and we created 1.3million RMB donations. Donations are gathered and monitored by organizations like Shanghai Children’s Medical Center and China Women’s Development Foundation to support study of hematological malignancies and female ovarian cancer, to develop patient consultation and to raise social awareness on relevant illnesses in order to prevent indifferences and increase survival rate. The keys to be away from these illnesses are full understanding, preventive habits, early diagnosis and cooperative hospitalization, things of which we are working hard on. Giving is not just about making a donation. It is also about making a difference.
