The story of Malaysian actress Angie Cheong Wai-yee and her son, who are currently based in Hong Kong, touched many hearts as she supported him throughout his battle with heart disease. Now, they look to support others who are also going through a similar experience.

Cheong met her then two-year-old son, Hanson, in 2006 when he was under the care of a Beijing medical facility. While on a break from her acting career, she began doing charity work and it was during that time that she met the boy.
