We Were There!
Run for Hope, an informal annual
event held to raise awareness
and funds for cancer research,
gets bigger and better every
year. On Sunday, 17 November,
unprecedented crowds assembled
in comfortably cloudy conditions at
Marina Bay Promontory, to run either
3.5km or 10km over a lovely course
that included the spectacular Marina
Barrage.

Caring for Cambodia Changed
Lives, Including My Own.
