Calendar Event 2022

As 2021 draws to a close, our first fundraiser has come to a close as well.

We are extremely grateful for all the support from everyone during this fundraiser; many people donating cash directly, and some friends even purchasing up to 10 copies at a time! We managed to sell a total of 113 calendars and raised a total of $3,251.00 for future activities and endeavors. Some individuals even chose to join our group of volunteers, dedicating their time and energy to help with this event.

For us this has not only established the first fundraiser a success, but also contributed to the future development of the association.

We sincerely thank all the group friends, organizers, and volunteers who participated in this event. In particular, we want to thank Wan Li, the chairman of PNOA, Who led the design of the calendar and the planning of this event as well as raising funds outside of our charity.

The photos in the calendar show all the wonderful places that people have visited in the past year while fighting against the epidemic. This goes to show no matter what the world is going through, outdoor activities are beneficial to physical and mental health, and bring many like-minded people closer together.

As we enter 2022 with new hopes and goals, we hope that the calendar in your hand can carry the good hopes of the association and accompany you, your family, and friends in having a happy and healthy 2022.

We are confident that with your active participation, PNOA will make great strides in the new year.

Thanks again everyone! Happy 2022!

    共同骑行,点亮希望——PNOA GCC 2024队伍的卓越成就

    在2024年的Great Cycle Challenge活动中,PNOA GCC 2024队伍取得了令人瞩目的成就。我们设定了5000公里的骑行目标,结果总骑行距离达到了惊人的9621公里,几乎是原计划的两倍。此外,我们的募捐目标同样是5000元,最终筹集到了8579元善款,这笔款项将用于支持SickKids基金会,帮助儿童癌症的研究和治疗。 今年,共有17名队员参与了这项挑战,其中有8名队员是第一次参与。特别值得一提的是,我们队伍中最年轻的成员——8岁的Zoe和5岁的Avi姐弟俩。Zoe在第二年参加挑战,骑行了554.1公里,募捐了1507元善款。弟弟Avi首次参与,完成了82公里的骑行,并筹集了306元。他们的勇气和努力深深激励了其他队员,展现了年轻一代的无限潜力。 同时,团队中的资深骑手老齐更是发挥了重要作用,他独自骑行了2850.9公里,为团队的成功贡献了巨大力量。他的坚持和毅力为所有队员树立了榜样,激励着大家共同追求目标。 通过这次挑战,PNOA GCC 2024队伍不仅在骑行和募捐上超越了预期,更重要的是提高了社会对儿童癌症的关注。我们明白,每一位队员的努力都在为那些需要帮助的孩子们点燃希望之光。 展望未来,我们将继续参加明年的挑战,为更多的孩子们贡献力量,再创佳绩!

    Mt Seymour 雪地野营

    今年冬天是一个暖冬,迟迟未能降雪。户外朋友圈里都在讨论着如何退滑雪季票,很理直气壮的理由:因病要求退票!什么病?没雪滑抑郁了,这必须算病啊。。。😂😂 新年的第一个周末,今冬的初雪终于姗姗来迟。一夜之间青山白头,立刻点燃了温村无数雪友的激情。于是乎全城沸腾,有人携板执杖,驰骋雪道;有人呼朋唤友,踏雪登高;还有少数几位和我们一样,背起沉甸甸的背包,去雪地野营,看日落日出,享彻夜逍遥。 雪地野营于我们而言是第一次,领导听说之后也兴致盎然的表示要”参加“。这个”参加“的意思就是领导会亲自上山住帐篷里,而我则需要兼职挑夫,背着双份的地垫睡袋和各类补给上山😂😂。好在路途不远,上山途中更有美景随处可见,赏心悦目。有蔚蓝天空下的雪压青松,有白云环绕着的远山如黛,还有落日余晖在雪堆上映射出的点点如金沙闪烁。 就这样一行五人轻松惬意的边走边赏,悠哉悠哉的来到野营地。此时正好是日落时分,落日、晚霞、雪山、云海,还有日落之后粉色和蓝色的辉光云霞(alpenglow),一切美景都如同想象中的梦幻、温暖且美好。 太阳彻底下山之后,我们就开始平整雪地,搭设帐篷。然后挖坑做饭,煮雪烹茶。山友老胡还特意带了红酒为大家佐餐,我们则奉献了自制的牛肉干。坐在雪地上,抬头可见满天繁星,清冷月牙,俯首遥看万家灯光,烟火尘世。四周美得寂静,也美得令人恍惚。 上山一次不容易,我们的计划中不仅仅第一晚要看日落,还有第二天早上的日出。次日清晨的山顶,雾气渐渐弥漫起来,逐渐将四周的山头都藏匿其中。就在我们低声叹息以为无缘日出的时候,大自然给我们展现了另外一种朦胧的日出之美。太阳升起时的霞光穿透雾气,时隐时现。在不断流动、瞬息万变的雾气中,忽而看云海翻滚可见粉色朝霞,忽而有山林浮现如同海市蜃楼。我们就一直沉浸在不断的惊喜之中,感叹着造化的神奇。 日落日出都如愿欣赏到了。在日落与日出之间则是寂冷的夜。哪怕有最美味的红酒,最滚烫的姜茶,最飘香的乌龙,和最温暖的咖啡,也还是挡不住大自然无言的高冷。冷就一个字,辗转千万次。零下九度的清冷月夜,山顶万籁俱寂,微风无雪,即使全副武装也无法在帐篷外多待片刻。只能早早钻入睡袋,反复拷问着身为雪地野营小白的自己:“能熬过今晚吗?”,最后才沉沉睡去。当清晨泠冽的空气把我唤醒时,我第一个念头就是“自然很美好,生活很美好!”🤣🤣 部分照片 credit to PNOA:Gloria,花花,老胡
