Joey Yung expresses support for Alex Fong's swim challenge

24 Sep - After receiving the support from legendary actor Chow Yun Fat, Alex Fong is again blessed with encouragement for his upcoming attempt to complete a 45-km charity swim by none other than the Hong Kong pop diva herself, Joey Yung.

As reported on Mingpao, the singer took to social media to share a photo of her and Alex, and expressed her admiration for the former professional swimmer's effort to swim around Hong Kong island for charity purposes when she herself couldn't even find the strength to walk 45 kilometers with her two legs.

"Alex is doing good deeds by challenging his own limits and practicing every day in order to overcome different types of difficulties. To that, we wish him all the best," she said.

Joey also hopes that the public will not only donate to the charity, A Drop of Life, but to also actively support and encourage the actor on his attempt.

Alex had since dropped a comment on Joey's post, writing, "Thank you for your loyalty. I wish you a happy day."

The actor has so far raised HKD 2,683,685 for the charity. The 45-km swimming challenge will be held on 5 November.
