Fong finally reaches CWM Hospital

Michael Fong collected over $650 after his 4 days of “Walk for Life” around Viti Levu.

Fong walked around Viti Levu in memory of his son Brian Fong who tragically passed away in 1998 due to a congenital heart defect.

Fong, working in partnership with his employer Pernix Fiji Limited and the Children’s Heart Foundation and Vodafone Fiji, has raised a total of $16,000 which includes $1,000 each from Vodafone Fiji Limited, Coca-Cola Amatil Fiji, Total Fiji, $5,000 from the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation and other individuals.

He said that the funds will go towards the treatment of children who have been admitted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

The CEO Children Heart Foundation Shereen Sadr said that two children who are similar cases as Fong’s late son will go to Australia next month for surgery.

Sadr said they are now targeting another $35,000 to send another 14 children for surgery.

She added that potential corporate houses who are willing to donate at least $1,000 each can directly deposit the money to the Children’s Heart Foundation, ANZ account number 8663696.
