I'm running the Hong Kong Half Marathon to raise money for the Zubin Foundation. Please support me by donating to this worthwhile cause.

My Story

I'm not new to running - but the body creaks a little more than it used to!  Last year I dusted off my running shoes and completed the half marathon in HK in just over 2 hours - I would love to see if I can sneak under that 2 hour mark but with a few niggles and the season flu training has not been what it should!  Nevertheless I am joining friends and clients as they also challenge themselves in a variety of distances on 9th February to raise money for the Zubin foundation.  

The whole marathon experience is uplifting, you feel part of a unified team - all helping each other to get round... to support each other and to use the event to raise awareness and funds for those that really need it.  

Within Hong Kong there is a huge gap between Hong Kong's richest and poorest residents (which we often don't see!) - this is especially true for the the marginalised ethnic minority communities in Hong Kong.

Many individuals navigate their own challenging 'marathons' in life, facing racial and gender biases, language barriers, mental health struggles and stigmas, health issues, special educational needs, disabilities, and various other obstacles. Just as marathon runners are uplifted by cheering crowds and aid stations, The Zubin Foundation stands steadfastly beside the community members every step of the way. The charity offers essential resources, counselling, and a supportive environment to help the vulnerables cross the finish line and achieve their dreams.

I am proud to be one of the Zubin Foundation's Racial Equality Ambassadors. Please support me and the charity to promote healthy living, spread positivity, and foster inclusivity throughout our diverse community for all in Hong Kong.
