Dr. Kelvin Ho formed a team of cyclists, including organ donors and recipients, medical practitioners, and amateur cyclists, and participated in the 30km ride of Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon in 2017 and 2018. He hoped to take the opportunity to promulgate positive message of how organ transplant could help bring a new life to patients suffering from organ failure. The organ recipients also shared their own stories to help raise public concern on the subject.
