My Story
Share

We run for different reasons: for the joy of running, for charity, for others, or for ourselves.

In 2012, I participated in the 78km race of the Raleigh Challenge for the first time in my life. My teammates were injured and it took us more than 24 hours to complete the course. Although our limbs were numb and energy was drained after crossing the finish line, we were extremely overwhelmed. Never had we used our own body to experience the winding mountain trails that the students had to overcome going to school on a daily basis. At the same time, we raised funds for health services for a group of 100 children living in harsh conditions with scarce water resources.



Just like that, I got hooked on racing in trail marathons. I am very thankful for the support system from my friends and coaches, especially my family as the biggest force behind every race.

I am a believer in the little things that can make a big difference and it is the small deeds done with great love that can change the world. This year I have set a personal goal to challenge a cross country ultra marathon with my legs to raise money for those in need. I will be participating in Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge in Hong Kong from January 25th to January 28th this year.

Participants must complete all four major trails in Hong Kong individually within 72 hours non-stop in the sequence: Maclehose – Wilson – Hong Kong – Lantau trails but in reverse (from trail finish to trailhead). The event starts in Tuen Mun at Maclehose trail finish and ends in Mui Wo at the famous green postbox in front of the ferry terminal.

While the total length of the course is 298 kilometers, competitors can only resupply when changing mountain trails, or purchase supplies along the route, prohibited to use hiking poles along the way. Participants who complete all mountain trails within 60 hours will earn the "Finisher" title. Failing to finish in 60 hours may continue with the Challenge and will be recognised as "Survivor" if they complete within 72 hours.

Compared to previous local and foreign competitions, HK4TUC is a low key, extremely difficult event that requires a high level of hardship and endurance. The organiser emphasised that this is not a competition racing for a prize medal, rather a self-challenge and an ultimate honour.

Campaign Description

Over the Chinese New Year holidays, I will be running the iconic Hong Kong Four Trails Ultra Challenge to raise funds for the four charities dearest to my heart: Drop of Life, Faith in Love Foundation, RUN Hong Kong and Inspiring Hong Kong Sports Foundation. Being involved in each of these organisations has led me to discover new things. We are equals in that we each contribute by adding our own experience and value.

By running HK4TUC, my aim is to raise HK$ 400,000 for four local non-profit charities so as to promote local sports education in Hong Kong. Ultimately, I hope that more can receive the joy of participating in sports and benefit from live-changing sports experiences.

If you have a religious belief, may you keep me in your prayers, wish that I can complete the entire race course injury-free!
