Often in our feverish race to acquire the material trappings of success we forget the true value of being human. Career, cash, car, credit cards and condominium may keep us warm at night but to be a caring human being puts a glow in our hearts.
On 18th June, 2011, Alex Au-Yong showed us all what one man can do for 200 underprivileged children. In support of the StART Society, a non-profit organization located in Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya, which manages and runs their own programmes for the betterment of these children, Alex Au-Yong, celebrity marathon runner ran 100km for 16 hours to raise awareness for the organization’s work as well as to raise funds to enable the society to continue their noble work.
