in between the start of final year, I chanced on Raymun's publish on myspace Concerning Dean Karnazes' newest single 354km operate in below 2-3 times. nearly instinctively, I designed a arbitrary remark about us operating from Perlis (the most northern condition in Malaysia) to Johor (the most the southern area of condition in Malaysia) with each other in between the long term. Raymun, becoming child-like and passionate at coronary heart, replied instantly with a definite Indeed! Other buddies who noticed our publish also became a member of in the madness thinking that we experienced been just joking; One of these in whose home City is Taiping provided us Chee Cheong enjoyable (literally converted as pig's intestine) if we make it previous his home City. It's one of times previous when you don't believe an excessive amount of about what's becoming stated and you just go with the movement of the conversation. But when all the enjoyable eventually settled, the actuality of what was stated was beginning to kitchen sink in and it's time for you to get severe and believe about what we just stated. later on that day time, Raymun delivered me a information asking: 'Bro, are you severe about this?'
Ideas, they say, are a harmful thing. They are a lot more Persistent and proof than the most fulminant disease. In this case, i can't concur a lot more.
We didn't speak a lot within the subsequent couple of Several weeks. I believe we Each kind of know that this task has hit a really heavy wire in our thoughts, so that it nearly experienced like a existence require that we have to fulfil. It's as if we experienced been summoned to have this out, trusted with the present of operating to provide this to completion. In the meantime, we just permit the concept gradually gain in power and type in our thoughts and thoughts as we have about our every day time business. 
But, what objective is large sufficient for us to do this? Certainly it's not about environment records, neither is it about becoming the really first individuals to do this and the type of bull-crap. I was just studying Roe give's guide lately (Ron was the really first individual to operate about Australia,  he finished the circumnavigation of 13,383 kilometres in 217 times for an general every day time typical of 61.67km), and i observed how self-centred and individualistic his objectives experienced been. Indeed he stated he was doing the work for charitable organization and ya-da ya-da, but it appeared obvious from his composing that his greatest encouraging element is he thought about becoming the really first individual to do this, he wanted Complete all things in the quickest time, he wanted to arranged nationwide and globe record, he wanted the importance that originates from achieving a main task. His aspirations was regulating him like a starving beast, making them go from a task to an additional, to the stage exactly where he overlooked and misplaced his spouse and loved ones in the process. later on on, there experienced been other comparable individuals such as Whilst gary Parson and Jim player who also reached the ultra-operating picture and tried comparable insane feats. You would have believed that they would be great buddies, provided that they discussed such comparable passions. But no. They are not. There is an excessive amount of pride and competition included so that they can't see attention to attention. 
Personally, I don't believe there is something Wonderful in gathering award or achievement. existence is not calculated by what you could do for yourself. regardless of whether you can operate 10km, or 42km, or 100km, or 100 kilometers, or previous 100 kilometers in a Solitary day time, really has no showing in any way to the individual seated subsequent to you. Indeed there is no problem in doing these things, but if that's all you are all about, then you are a unfortunate individual who has nothing Otherwise essential in existence. 
So return to our story, we thought difficult about why we wanted to do this. Or a lot more like - what do we really want to achieve out of this? To increase account for refugees so they can still spend their lease for an academic centre? Or for orphanage for the children to purchase some meals and letter go to their every day time needs? Or to increase account for other non-profit Companies or most cancers foundation?
From 30 November to 3 Dec 2012, we Each chose to have a brief 3-day time escape to the azure mountain tops, Sydney, to speak about about this. We invested our day time talking about the objectives, applying out the Path, Planning the time collection etc. each and every now and once again, we would go to a leisure time operate in the trails, going through the mountain tops about. I want we could do this for a living!
At 3 SistersMt one from a distanceBrain-storming activityAs you might have guessed, our training and participation with individuals in the medical center on a every day time foundation have a large affect on everything that we do. As such, we Each considered on the subject of health of our other countrymen. We Each know that when a individual leads to the medical center with coronary heart attack, it's not often while he was 'unlucky' or have poor loved ones genetics or this is just an accident. He countries themself in the medical center while he decided to, i.e all the previous 30-40 many years of his existence, he experienced made choices which he thought experienced been apparently insignificant for example including additional sugars to his teh-tarik, Consuming nasi lemak or roti canai or bak-kuk-teh Often for breakfast, smoking, top inactive way of existence and not obtaining his bottom up to do exercise. These choices eventually guide to him using a coronary heart attack, or using a diabetic individual foot, or having renal system failure, or dropping his visions, or using a main stroke. For some, it price them their existence or leads to long term disability. Not to stage out Loads of other issues such as obesity, Persistent combined pain, bronchi disease, depression, insomnia, all of which are effortlessly avoidable if you spend concentrate on your way of existence. 
Hence, we thought this is what we are likely to do: We are likely to operate from one City to the other, beginning with Kangsar in Perlis, and teach the residents on how to guide wholesome lifestyles. a lot more than that, we want to radically Determine concept of health to the individuals. We will concentrate on children, housewives, families, or Anybody who is prepared to spend attention to us, and give them effortlessly digestible tips, useful guidance and sources on health. As such, we are not in the hurry to Complete the entire task in the quickest time possible. We desire to make certain we have power remaining at the finish of the operate to speak to the individuals in the City that we move by.
lately we study of a Malaysian physician - doctor Ghantan, who strolled over 1000km from Bukit Kayu Hitam to Johor Bharu to increase consciousness on Body organ present. The paper piece of his task is accessible here. He fought undesirable climate conditions, sore spots in Each his legs, and Occasionally he even experienced to rest in coach stations, just to gather promises for Body organ present from the individuals that he fulfilled throughout the way. We experienced been really urged by his pure Dedication and courage, and we know we are not on your personal in this. There are physicians out there who, regardless of the obvious defects in our nationwide healthcare system, have confidence in actively playing a component at including to the health of our nation. 
As you can see, the focus is not really so a lot about the operate. 'operating' is type of like our way of transportation to get from one stage to an additional. Of course, if a child views us operating and really wants to get operating as a hobby, we will be a lot more than pleased to operate with him or her. operating also exhibits to individuals that we people need to continually be on the move, to permit a lot better blood movement and cardio health, lowers your blood sugars degree and blood pressure, and increase your feeling at the Exact same time (the greatest remedy for depression!). 
So what took place from our dialogue in azure mountain tops are the following,
The main objective of the operate is simple: We want to go about peninsular Malaysia and radically Determine health to our other countrymen. To teach, increase consciousness on this subject of HEALTH in general. 
This will take devote Dec 2014, throughout 40 times, addressing roughly 1400km. We will operate in between 30-50km in a day time, and we will Complete each and every day time in regardless of whether main milestone or smaller sized cities to provide to individuals the information of HEALTH. 
We will Each take 2-3 Several weeks away our try to operate about peninsular Malaysia. 
The sensitive Path is as proven in the map. (See below).
With relation to its account-raising, we are still undecided. We have provided a large amount of ideas to this subject of charitable organization account-raising, and current types of improper use of account has not been really encouraging. I will create a lot more about this in long term publish when i have time what i believe about charitable organization physiques like most cancers study foundation, non-profitable Companies etc. For now, we don't see the serious need to increase account as yet. We might alter our thoughts later on on. 
We need a team of members. For now, we curently have a activity nutritionist, a free-lance expert photographer, a videographer, and 3 girls able in admin matters. We still need two a lot more individuals. really first is somebody that attracts the substance of this task, who will be our innovator and supervise the entire task from head to tail. The subsequent individual is somebody that is experienced in IT and web Web site designing. something associated with social networking and Promotion will be dealt with by this individual. If you believe you have what it takes, Make certain you get in contact at tee_jimmy@hotmail.com, and i will show you a lot more. 
We want to make a video clip documented out of this task, describing the entire trip from the beginning to the finish. 
My desire (i am not certain if this is possible) - is to create a guide with Raymun on this task as well. I just want to reveal a small on who we are, why we want to do this, and the individuals that we have fulfilled in this trip.
Let me condition that there is no concrete (for example financial) incentive for Anybody who desires to sign up for us. The only incentive is understanding that you have made an Work to contact the spirit of an additional individual becoming, and possibly conserve the existence of an additional individual because the individual heeds your guidance on taking treatment of his or her personal health. 
As i stated before, and i will say it once again, the concentrate on this task is not the operate. The operate is simply a tool, a approach to appeal to individuals's concentrate on the accurate information that we have in our thoughts, i.e. we want to provide throughout the information of HEALTH to Anybody who is prepared to listen! What a lot better way to do this than to operate from one City to an additional from northern to Southern and to northern once again in our personal country! :D
Now let's want everything come to move!
Dear Incredible Father, You know our coronary heart desires. You know our dreams, as along with our self-centered reasons - nothing can conceal from You. If there is some thing displeasing to You, Make certain you make it obvious to us. split us Lord, if necessary, that we might not continue in our foolishness. Otherwise, give us the power and the knowledge to do this, and do it well, to the beauty of Your title. In Jesus' title I want and request of You, Amen.
