Help for the disabled through run - Siemens Run

FROM behind, baby Sri looks like any other healthy eight-month-old. However, when this curly haired bundle of joy turns around, people are usually shocked or even sad to see Sri as she suffers from a chronic cleft palate, lip and nose dysmorphism.

The disability does not only leave her with a disfigured face but also deprives her of the simple act of sucking milk using a feeding bottle.

To make matters worse, she hardly has any vision as she has no left eye and her right cornea is blocked. She can only hear with her right ear as there is no eardrum in her left side.

Sri is one of the many disabled children at the Taman Megah Home for Handicapped and Disabled Children who need the attention and help of Malaysians to get through each day.

Bearing this in mind, Siemens Malaysia Sdn Bhd has selected the home as one of the three beneficiaries of the Siemens Run 2009, to be flagged off at Dataran Merdeka on July 19.

“Sri has a problem crawling, turning and sitting due to the growing size of her head. She can only feed through a feeding tube, which needs to be changed fortnightly. On the doctor’s advice, her parents decided to send Sri to our home to be taken care of as they do not have the means. She has been with us since she was one month old.

Sri’s parents do visit her but there are many children with us whose parents have abandoned them here. We take care of these children too,” said the administration manager of the home.

Sri’s cleft palate, lips and nose is operable but the condition of her head has to improve before any operation is done.

Currently, the home has 128 multiracial residents ranging from babies to adults.

They suffer from disabilities such as Down Syndrome, Dwarfism syndrome, Apeth syndrome and autistic cerebral palsy.

This year, Siemens has screened and identified three charitable beneficiaries.

The other beneficiaries are the SM Pendidikan Khas Cacat Penglihatan in Setapak and the National Autistic Society of Malaysia in Sentul.

Apart from targeting to cross the 4,000 mark again this year in terms of participation, the Siemens Run 2009 will channel 100% of the proceeds collected towards these charities.

“We need to continue helping the underprivileged as they too need Malaysians and corporate companies to help them to survive.

“The Siemens Run is open to all individuals and corporate companies who would like to share our dream of helping unfortunate children like Sri and many many more,” president and CEO of Siemens Malaysia Tan Sri Rainer Althoff said.

The main categories include the 10km Men and Women Open (18 years & above), Men Junior Veteran (40-49 years), Men Senior Veteran (50 years & above); 7.5km Women Veteran (35 years & above), boys and girls (13 to under 18) and the 3.5km Dream Run (open category).

It really a tough race for me to achieve this time, i really push myself up to the limit, never feel that jialat until want to vomit at 9Km. I almost skip all the water stations, just simply grab water at one of the station to make myself wet and quickly continue. IIR half experience told me that, by stopping at the water station, it really killed a lot of your hard earning split time.

Quite frustrated at the begining, i almost fall down after been pushed to left and right and my leg has been attacked by someone. The hill/slope training really help me a lot to achieve the better time. I still keep the same method , by not thinking or looking too much and make myself not confident, i just concentrate look at my watch and monitor the same split time for every km if can. I failed on the first km (feel surprised it look like quite long), luckily can rectified it after the next 3km. At the water stations at Hoki Stadium turning downslope, my timing is at 20mins. I feel myself quite breathless after pushing too hard on the hilly part, so decide to slow a bit to get back enough oxygen, it make me better after a km, then i speeding a bit up to 8KM, I keep telling myself must carry on , dont get regret by defeated at the last 2KM.

Eventhough my breathing just slighty better than buffalo, dont care lar... just continue and after a while, feel like want to vomit, quickly take a deep breath few times... by that time reached at 9km after Padang Merbok, i keep telling myself, only last km left, nothing can stop you already. Suddenly the grand ma and grandpa photos (IIR) appear in my mind.... no age limit spirit....no excuse for me to say cannot liao... continue speeding at the last turning at DM towards finishing point.... finished at 50:40 at the position no.58, it really surprise me and really make me happy...it really return of all my hardwork so far....

Thanks to the organiser, if without the distance markers, i dont think i can achieve this results. It will help me a lot to adjust my time based on the distance for the coming Dataran Merdeka events after this race.
