Real Deaf-Initely No Excuses Run on 26 Aug 2007



On 26/8/07,I woke up at 6.30am in the early morning,then I was wearing my running vest's Deaf-Initiely No Excuses Run.My dad will take me to the Esplanade Drive but it will be road closures. I told my dad to stop at the bus-stop,then i was so hurriedly. I was finding at the Deaf-Initely No Excuses Banner point. I saw some deaf and hearing from SMU and employees for our deaf-initely no excuses. Joan Wee told them(non-regular runners)to look after them. I told her to need ICs for look them. So i wear the yellow arm-bands. They says it get ready to start to run.
At the start point,Alvan and i(non-regular runners) will look after them. They and i shouted for cheerly loudly. We started to go more run......I pushed them for more.....
At 2km,i drank the isotonic drink,then continue to run.....I saw many army boys got their tattoos...Wow.... I felt more sweaty.....Water stations are set uop every 2km along the running routes.
At the end point,I finally completed in the end of 6km... Suddenly,i saw an army ambulance van. I think someone collapased or got heart attack.
After run,Ms Denise Phua,MP for Jalan Besar GRC will also be talking to deaf participants and supporters of this run. And they will be taking group photos to commemorate our participation in this milestone run.
After, i went to home and go buy the newspaper. Later i've read the newspaper abt bad news. I was so shocked that one of Safra marathron collapsed at the end of 21km. I felt very sad about it. He's very young and strong man and he's 25yrs old. I hope he can rest in peace....Pls go see the website's http://deafboleh.com
