大家好, 8月31日星期日, 我將參加在悉尼舉行的馬拉松, 為香港中文大學王連大腦腫瘤中心籌款。該中心由香港中文大學於2007年成立, 旨在提高人們對腦腫瘤的認識, 為腦腫瘤患者提供臨床護理和諮詢服務, 並為腦腫瘤研究籌集資金。
五年前,我被診斷患有一種非常罕見的腦腫瘤。陳達明醫生負責為我做手術。 陳醫生亦是香港中文大學王連大腦腫瘤中心聯合主任, 帶領六名醫學專家組成的團隊, 包括兩名腫瘤科醫生, 兩名放射科醫生及一名臨床心理學家。
此中心的命名是為了紀念王連大先生。我在花旗銀行工作時他擔任亞州股票研究部門主管。王連大先生生前因未有及早確診腦腫瘤而去世, 享年38歲。他30歲時就成為亞洲股票研究部門最年輕的主管。他熱愛運動, 曾參加三項鐵人賽及250公里戈壁沙漠極地超級馬拉松。他留下了三名兒子, Hans, Xavier and Denzel。他的妻子Jennifer仍在努力不懈地為該中心籌集資金, 並致力於提高人們對腦腫瘤的認識。
悉尼馬拉松是我在七大洲馬拉松旅程的最後一站, 及後我將會獲得世界馬拉松七星獎牌。我於2017年第一次的馬拉松後, 曾跟自己說再也不會跑全馬了! 但我決定再次挑戰自己, 為中心拯救生命的工作籌款。
我在此衷心感謝幾位朋友。
雷賢達先生。在我確診最初幾天裡, 他的指導及建議對我至關重要。雷叔叔, 非常感謝您。
陳達明醫生。我手術後雙眼視力有重影, 陳醫生在一次巡房期間送了我一個眼罩, 讓我暫時只用單眼看東西, 減低重影問題。陳醫生, 我以為您會在我出院時再送我一隻鸚鵡, 那我便可以角色演繹Jade Sparrow。
吳俊梅醫師。她不僅減輕了我電療後副作用的痛楚, 也改善了我的視力。吳醫師, 我衷心感謝您的耐心。很抱歉至今我還沒有好好做到您的建議。我相信在短期內我一定可以做到。
我還要感謝並向我所有羽毛球和匹克球的隊友們道歉。他們不知道我的病情以及我腫瘤的位置如何影響了我的視力和平衡力。當我控球不理想或在球場上反應不來, 他們可能感到困惑。但隨著持續的治療, 視力及平衡力已經得到明顯改善。
今年早前的倫敦馬拉松賽事, 共有22,480名選手完成世界馬拉松六大賽事並獲得六星獎牌。 我是在2017年獲得六星獎牌的首2,738名選手之一。悉尼去年正式擠身成為第七大馬拉松, 即將於8月底的悉尼馬拉松將是其首次以世界七大的形式舉行。
根據我的研究, 現巳有1,745名選手在七大洲完成了馬拉松,其中只有兩名來自香港。
完成悉尼馬拉松比賽後, 我將會是數百名獲得世界馬拉松七星獎並且完成七大洲馬拉松的跑手之一。
我有可能成為其中第一位獲得這兩項殊榮的人。
澳大拉西亞是我唯一還沒參加過比賽的大洲。我在以下六大洲都完成了馬拉松賽事:
這本來是我唯一一次的馬拉松, 我人生清單上必做項目之一。倫敦馬拉松的抽籤是最難抽到的, 但第一次嘗試, 我就中簽了！倫敦的比賽很獨特, 沿途群眾為參賽者打氣, 當我繞過卡蒂薩克號的彎道, 看到白金漢宮, 賽事以英國國旗飄揚在林蔭大道上結束。這場馬拉松令我眼界大開。
這是我的第一個北美馬拉松。我和幾位朋友和同事一起參與。芝加哥馬拉松也是一次很棒的體驗, 尤其是在我發現這座城市是Garrett's Popcorn的發源地。
我有機會跑遍了世界上最大城市的街道。除了香港, 這是我在亞洲最喜歡的城市。我愛這個地方,其默默支持參賽者的民眾以及日本的美食。
這是我手術後的第一場馬拉松。我已記不清怎樣到達起跑線, 更別說跑到終點了。當天我身體狀況不佳, 也不確定自己能否堅持跑完最後10公里。也許是想到終點線後可以品嚐那些美味芝士麵包球, 我才堅持了下來。
這裡的海拔和風力讓我措手不及。每拐一個彎, 就有一斜坡。有一段路, 當我穿過公園, 沿著石春路跑, 因視力無法判斷石春的高度, 摔了一跤。幸好當時已經快到馬拉松的尾段, 否則我可麻煩了。
在準備這場比賽時, 我心情非常緊張。當我開始研究這場馬拉松時, 我點擊的第一個網站就說：「汗流浹背, 死定了」。 一位參加過南極洲馬拉松的香港醫生寫下了他的經歷 - 跑步時流出的汗水可能會結冰, 令人體溫過低, 引致死亡。我很幸運地找到了一個有跑步機的人工氣候室, 測試了我的比賽裝備。零下10度, 我熱得汗流浹背, 但零下20度, 我就開始凍僵了, 感覺截然不同。
聖喬治島馬拉松 - 地形、氣候、環境都充滿挑戰。當正要穿越德雷克海峽時, 惡劣天氣即將來臨。我們原本安排到埗後第二天開跑, 但由於要在天氣轉壞前再經德雷克海峽回程, 我們只好將賽事提前在到埗當日進行, 並且要於短時間內完成賽事。團隊幾經辛苦把我們送到聖喬治島。到達後立刻標記賽道路線, 待我們可以在一小時內開跑。幸好在大家努力下, 天黑前完成了比賽趕及回程。
悉尼馬拉松已正式加入為世界馬拉松七大城市。2017年, 當我獲得馬拉松六星獎牌時, 我的馬拉松長跑目標巳達成, 我想可以退下來了。猜不到悉尼馬拉松改變了我的想法, 我決定跑遍七大洲。

Hi there, on Sunday 31st August, I will be running the Sydney Marathon to raise money for the CUHK Otto Wong Brain Tumour Centre in Hong Kong. The Centre was established in 2007 by the Chinese University of Hong Kong to raise awareness about brain tumours, provide clinical care and counselling for brain cancer patients, and raise money for brain cancer research.
