On June 21, just one day before his 67th birthday, Lim Shyang Guey<\/span> crossed the finish line of a 2,200km (1,370-mile) run around Peninsular Malaysia. His first thought to himself and to his late wife, Goh Joo Lee, was, \u201cDarling, we made it.\u201d<\/div>\n

He launched his \u201cRun for Gold\u201d campaign at the end of March in honour of Goh, who died of gallbladder cancer in 2024, and carried a photo of her as he completed his run over 86 days around the region that makes up the western part of Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Working with the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM), he ran through all 11 states in Peninsular Malaysia and a federal territory. He has raised more than 775,000 ringgit (US$191,000) for cancer research and treatment so far \u2013 surpassing his original goal of 600,000 ringgit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got the sense that somebody was watching over me,\u201d Lim says, just days after completing the race. He recalls running in the southern Malaysian state of Johor, where he looked up to see a motorcycle shop that bore the same English and Chinese names as his late wife.<\/p>\n

Lim recounts some harrowing experiences, including a hit-and-run accident that injured a team member who was operating the drone that was filming his run for a documentary. Lim was just a few steps ahead of the drone pilot but was miraculously unscathed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
