Run For Terence (RFT)

As you're all aware our running kaki, triathlete, duathlete, commando ultrarunner, Terence (Penguin-6) has been diagnosed with brain tumour. With his wife not working and his own job is at stake, whatever assistance and support we extend him will be useful.

Runners are known as a supportive and positive bunch. It's time to come forward to help a fellow sportsman in need. Treatment for tumours are often expensive and debilitating. The patient will also be weakened substantially by all the drugs. Besides resting and taking proper food, it's also beneficial to take food supplements such as antioxidants. All these require money.

To show our support for him, Der_Pacemakers and friends are organizing a run in his honour, after which we'll be passing the hat around to collect some contribution for him. You can also pen down messages for him in a book. As this is a non-competitive run, please bring your own refreshments. Typical of Terence's care-free attitude, you can run any number of laps you want.

Date: Saturday Feb 4th

Time: 8amVenue: KLCC Park, the large space between the carpark and the mosque

Distance: Any number of laps

Please turn up to support him and spread the word around. Thank you.

呼吁大家行善心,助Terence渡過難關
----------------------------------------------------

眾所週知,大家都知道Terence 在我們週圍是一位活躍的跑友,不只是常參加路跑競賽,馬拉松至超級馬拉松,以及鐵人二項至鐵人三項,都留下他的足跡。

天性樂觀的他,最近卻不巧被腦腫瘤盯上,由於他的妻子是一位全職家庭主婦,全靠他的工作來維持,所以我們身為跑友的,只要能獻上一份棉力,對他都是有極大的幫助。

熱衷跑步的我們,大家都是一群有愛心的人,是讓我們為Terence展現我們對他的支持和鼓勵,在治療腫瘤過程中,不只醫藥費驚人,而且在化療和物療的過程中,身體將會異常虛弱,需要服食不少的藥物和輔助品以治療他的腦腫瘤,這一切一切都需要動用到“錢”。

為了協助和展示我們對他的支持和關心,Der_pacemaker 和各跑友在他的名義下,主辦一場慈善義跑,屆時在城中城公園完跑後,將會為他籌款,呼吁大家行使一顆慈善的心,為Terence抗腦腫瘤的奮戰中貢獻一點點力量。

由於這是一項慈善義跑,請大家攜帶自己的運動飲料,同時也沒有限定跑友所跑的距離,就讓我們所有跑友或非跑友,為一位勇敢的生命鬥士,拿出我們的愛心!
