We invite you to check us out and hope you can consider our event for 2014 when Hem Bunting, highlighted as the King of Cambodia Marathon, runs and for his efforts has been underfunded for years even after his 72nd finish at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He has a personal best of 2 hrs 23 mins in Paris 2012. He has not been able to afford his training nor his rent. The years now leading up to Brazil 2016 Summer Olympics will be his only dream even as "funding" cuts that have him living in poverty in Cambodia. The You tube video is still a re-ocurring theme for Active Cambodian Athletes and it would be necessary to include other athletes and coaches in our funding for this event 12 days and 400 km #Marathons4Cambodia campaign.

I wish to get the half marathon athletes and marathoners of Canada and Cambodia for the event 400km in 12 days starting from Stung Treng Hem Bunting's home to Phnom Penh.

The story of Ron Hull, paralyzed in a surgical accident back in the dreaded polio epidemic days, was able to overcome most of the stigma and stereotypes and "pass for normal" for 30 years. As Ron's paralysis increased gradually through the next 20
