Race Against Cancer 2013

21072013

Insight.

To be cont'd.

I barely managed to participate in RAC 2013 actually. It was only till the final day of registration that I did so because I was nursing my sprained ankle. However, I decided to do so not because I wanted to run a good time, but because there was a cause that people were jointly participating for.

Grace passed away in May. I never knew her well personally, yet from the testimonies of others I knew that she was faithful, determined and full of potential. For cancer to have taken her life at her tender age, it's certainly reminded us of the fragility of our lives.

I don't wish to elaborate on the race itself because this race wasn't run with the intent of a time, but instead, for a cause. Zhiting and I just paced and we finished in about 1:40. Though this was a far-cry from my timing of 1:14 last year, it didn't matter. Below are some photos.

I'm sure Grace is really proud of you:)

For more than ourselves. For G(RAC)E

"The truth is, Mack, the real reason you did not tell Nan was not because you were trying to save her from pain. The real reason was that you were afraid of having to deal with the emotions you might have encountered, both from her and in yourself. Emotions scare you, Mack. You lied to protect yourself, not her!"
