Started my day this morning with a 5.30 am 10km run with John, a teacher at Tai O school on Lantau Island! ‍♀️

But that's not the real story! Remember how I helped with the school's selection event for Trail Walker 100km and UTMB? Well, there's been an amazing update!

John told me on this run that thanks to generous donations of running shorts and shoes from T8 and Above The Clouds Sport (Topo Athletic Trail Shoes), the whole school's atmosphere has shifted! Students who weren't initially chosen for these events are now joining training runs, motivated by the belief and supported that this sponsorship has brought to the school.

This is the power of believing in someone's potential!

A HUGE shoutout to John Ellis, David Longo and T8, Above The Clouds Sport and Julien Bonnard for making such a difference. Your donations are truly changing lives in the Tai O community!

Keep up the fantastic work!
