Hi Dr Chan,
Jon Tham
Of course we are keen, Jon! We truly applaud and will support anyone’s noble and selfless efforts in raising funds for street animals.
So I met Jon about an hour ago, and I learnt that he only took up running in 2012, which is just two years ago. He was injured before Chinese New Year where a motorcyclist lost control and rammed into him while he was participating in a run in the university grounds. That left Jon with a cracked shin…
And Jon was on crutches until April this year.
Now, he is starting from scratch again, to train for this ultra marathon (50km) to be held in Penang on 6th September 2014. He has participated in marathons (42km) previously but this is his virgin ultra marathon.
Jon wants to make this “comeback” a more meaningful one by running to raise funds for street animals, so he chose our organisation. Thank you very much, Jon!
Let’s support Jon’s aspiration and gracious efforts, shall we?
100% of your donations will go to our Fund for the animals.
Donations are to be banked in directly to our bank account.
Vincent says: Hmm….this nice kind gentleman is going to run a long, long distance to help street animals like me (not only us cats but also doggies). On behalf of all street animals, I, Vincent the feline Jedi warrior (who totally believes that the Force will be with us when we do good) will start the ball rolling with a RM300 donation to AnimalCare. Oh, it is also from my friends, Daffodil, Rosie, Ginger, Timmy, Heidi and Mr Zurik.
Thank you very much, Jon!
