Allan Lee : People Giving Fund Raising for Less Fortunate Kids

This just in from my friend Allan Lee. He is raising funds (approx RM10K) for a home for kids in PJ. How he is doing is by running a 330km mountain race which he term as his toughest challenge in his life (and I thought him completing the 2013 Ultra Trail du Month Blanc UTMB was the highlight).

Allan is inspiring. He has completed long distance triathlon (Ironman) and long distance running (Ultra marathons). He was one of the participant of Running more than 2000km around Malaysia.

In support of Allan Lee and his noble cause, I am sharing his personal mission here and would encourage you to contribute or just pay a visit to his charity mission here.

Because of its difficulty, many athletes do not complete the trail. Around 1200 volunteers are used to organize the competition. Due to the difference between the highest point and the lowest point, climatic conditions can be a difficult obstacle.
