It is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. In this day and age where we take things for granted and wished we had more, let us take a second to think of those who yearns to be in our shoes. Can we share some of what we have to those who needs it more?
My Story
I started running about 5 years ago when my friend who was about the same size and built as me took on the challenge to run the full marathon. It was inspirational to me back then and I was thinking to myself, if she can do it, so can I! Along the way, I have met with many people who have discouraged me and told me that it was so difficult to complete the marathon, especially at the point of 30km mark, that would be the time where most would hit the wall and yet still have another 12km to cross. I wanted to discover for myself exactly how difficult is difficult. I didn't want to live on other people's experiences, I wanted to know how it feels like to go through it myself. Through it I have also learnt that it is very important to know how to encourage others. It doesn't matter how fast or how slow we take to cross the finishing line, what is important, is that we have crossed it. All of us have different challenges in life, it may be completing a run, it may be looking after a child, or it may be managing a difficult project. Nobody will really remember the pains that we have while going through the ordeal, at the end of the day, it is how we celebrate the completion of the task and what you are being remembered for.
Today, you have a chance to make a difference to someone's life. The Angkor Wat Half Marathon aims to raise money to provide medical care for children in Cambodia (the Angkor Hospital for Children, AHC). For any small amount that you contribute, you will be able to improve the healthcare for Cambodia's children. The amount no matter how big or small touches the hearts of those who are on the receiving end, and any amount goes a long way to bring a smile onto their face. Will you make the difference to their lives today?
