Roche staff hold walk for charity

Nearly 400 employees from Shanghai Roche Pharmaceutical Company have completed a charity walk in the city's Century Park to raise funds for AIDS orphans. The company has worked closely with the Chinese Foundation for the Prevention of STD and AIDS in the past on a series of activities to draw attention to AIDS orphans across the country. Roche has also covered the living and medical expenditures of a number of AIDS orphans in Tongren, a city in Southwest China's Guizhou province.
