As the sun set over the rugged terrain of Brazil, a remarkable journey came to a triumphant close. Uncle Stephen Lim Nghee Huat, one of Singapore’s most dedicated ultramarathoners, completed the grueling Brazil135 Marathon—a 217-kilometer test of endurance and spirit. This monumental achievement was not only a personal victory, it was also a demonstration of grit, faith, and community.
The Brazil135 Marathon was a powerful symbol of hope for children aided by the Educational Support Programme (ESP) of Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS). Every kilometer conquered marked a stride toward brighter futures for children with additional needs. The ESP guarantees that these children receive the necessary resources and support to excel in inclusive classrooms, promoting holistic development and compassion.
The Good Start Run Brazil135 embodies the principle of investing in the early development of children and instilling values that will guide them throughout their lives.
Throughout the marathon, Uncle Nghee Huat's resilience was fueled by unwavering faith. His journey reflects the biblical verse from Philippians 4:13 -
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Every step he took echoed this belief, transforming physical exhaustion into spiritual renewal.
Uncle Nghee Huat’s wife, Deborah, was a pillar of support throughout this endeavor.
Uncle Nghee Huat's marathon journey is a brilliant showcase of determination, grace, and gratitude. His unwavering endurance in overcoming significant challenges provides an inspiring lesson for us all -
"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." - Hebrews 12:1
His composure under pressure and gratitude for the support he received serve as reminders of the importance of community and faith.
A Legacy of Hope and Inspiration
As we celebrate the completion of the Good Start Run - Brazil135 Marathon, we also look forward to the lasting impact it will have on the lives of many children. The funds raised through this campaign will continue to support the ESP, ensuring that every child, regardless of their challenges, has the opportunity to grow, learn, and flourish.
In closing, let us reflect on Matthew 25:40: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Uncle Nghee Huat’s journey and the support for the ESP are living examples of this teaching. It is a collective effort if we want to build a future rooted in compassion, faith, and love.
Thank you, Uncle Nghee Huat, Deborah, and all who have supported this incredible journey. Let us carry this spirit forward, running with endurance the race set before us, for the glory of God and the betterment of our community!
