HIKE FOR GOOD LUNGS. Support Lung Association in Memory of Gin GoonSpring is here with budding trees and running streams from the melting snow. We appreciate the beauty of nature and honor our late founder Mr. Gin Goon. Many of us find relief and inspiraion on the close encounter with nature through hiking. After a hush winter, spring has arrived. Rain or storm won't last for a whole day. In CMCNY hikes, regardless of the hiking distance or difficulty levels, the hikers learn how to enjoy the hikes. They make friends with fellow hikers and through talking, some personal problems got resolved. With the hardwork and sweating, some hikers realize that they had lost some pounds. Mr. Gin Goon had established the tradition in CMCNY that hiking is not just body building but mind building too. During the Spring season, CMCNY keeps up the tradition of fundraising for AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION. Last year we raised $7,000 to American Lung Association. Giving is the joy of life.
