Story

As a Hong Konger who moved to the UK two years ago, starting life in a new place has not been easy. Through this journey, I’ve learned the power of kindness and community, and I want to give something back using what I know best—my strength and perseverance.

I’m grateful to volunteer with FoodCycle, helping cook warm meals for people in need. This has inspired me to turn my passion for marathon running into something meaningful, transforming every mile into support for others.

It is a true honour to represent FoodCycle at the London Marathon 2026. My most recent race, the Taipei Marathon 2025, was my slowest at 5 hours—but it has strengthened my determination. This coming April, I’m chasing a sub-4 personal best, not just for myself, but for everyone FoodCycle serves.

Thank you for supporting me and helping make a real difference—every step truly counts.
