My name is Polly. Many people call me Polly Pocket and I guess in some way that's an accurate description of me as I am quite pocket sized with a carefree and adventurous spirit to match. I believe that no one should ever just be confined to a bucket list - that is why mine never stops customising! It keeps me on my toes, and makes sure that I am never "short-changed". One of my many mantras in life is to always challenge myself and try new things. Thus, my decision to take part in the Angkor Wat Marathon - as it would be for me - one of many firsts. My first time to Cambodia; My first overseas run ; My first time raising funds through it. I may not an awesome runner and I have no delusions of breaking any records. But for me, running has always been more of a battle of wits between my mind and my body. No matter the outcome, I have always found running to be an enriching experience. And I am grateful and blessed for this opportunity to be able to take one passion, running, to fuel another - helping the less fortunate. Living in a metropolitan city like Singapore, blessed with many luxuries and options, sometimes we forget to take stock of how fortunate we are. In doing this, I hope to extend some manner of relief, comfort and awareness to the kids at Angkor Hospital for Children - who are fighting battles of their own, some of which larger and more profound than we can never know. So please help me in our efforts to pay it forward and also promote an altruistic global society by donating. I know this would mean a lot to both the kids as well as to the people who work tirelessly to make them comfortable. Your support means a lot. Sincerely, Polly

How many jellybeans in the jar? Make your guess and the closest guess walks away with the whole jar. As an incentive, if someone guesses the exact number, a special $A5000 donation will be made! Bliss ball and Jellybean Jar proceeds will go to Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC). Macquarie runners are also going to Siem Reap to complete a 10/21km run, also raising funds for AHC.

Guess what? I finally plucked up enough courage and signed myself up to a 1/2 marathon on 6 December in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Even to this day, the thought of running 21km / 13.1miles is petrifying. What makes it easier to stomach is that I am running for a cause - The Angkor Hospital of Children (http://angkorhospital.org) in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It's sad to learn that children are dying from very curable disease because of the lack of essential facilities, and they need a lot of help to build out their facilities both at the hospital and their satellite clinic. Thank you so much for all the support!p.s. The Jelly Bean challenge page to support my run is is now closed and thank you http://www.simplygiving.com/runclaudiarun
