"I have always been passionate about wildlife conservation and the protection of endangered species. When I learned about the critical situation facing Sumatran orangutans, and the opportunity arose to raise money for SOS, I jumped at the chance.

When I crossed the finish line, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and joy, knowing I was supporting wild orangutans and their rainforest homes. The months of training, the early mornings, and the long runs all culminated in that moment, filling me with pride and gratitude."
