Story

I had lived in Goodenough College when I studied in London. I had participated in many fantastic events and met wonderful people there. Goodenough College is just like my second home abroad. 

I always remembered the time when I was studying in Charles Parsons library, enjoying the sunshine and guitar under the cherry tree in Mecklenburgh Square Garden, having fun in the Spring Ball with the theme "Alice in Wonderland", having breakfast or dinner with people from around the world in the Great Hall. The experience of living together in one community with so many interesting people from different cultural background gave me a broad worldview.

I am always thankful for this experience and am continually embracing the world afterwards with my heart and soul. 

Although I had experienced difficulties in my life, such as illness, I am always keeping faith in believing in the good. Jogging strengthens my body and my mind, which helps me of keeping doing what I believe! Besides, I had successfully run my first Marathon in 2017 in Bonn, Germany.

Therefore, I am so happy to run for Goodenough College to support the current members who are unfortunately facing financial difficulties due to the Corona crisis. Hopefully, my story and my participation in the London Marathon will encourage and inspire you to give a little bit to support students who might change the world in the future. 

I believe in an old saying that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Little by little, we could make the world a better place!  ♥
