Athlete of the month (again!)
Benji Chu
 |
On February 3, 2008, Benji Chu completed the Huntington Beach Marathon. This marathon was his 12th of twelve marathons to support the S.O.S. Children's Village foundation in Battambang, Cambodia. In his attempt to complete 12 marathons in 12 months, he and his family had to face many obstacles. Benji is a self employed chef and had to leave work for days at a time each month to achieve his dream. He had to travel to many cities, including, but not limited to, Ottawa, Las Vegas, Sacramento,and Huntington Beach. Prior to the wrap-up party on February 9, 2008, Benji had raised over $11,000. His goal was to raise $10,000 so with the proceeds from the wrap-up function yet to be totalled, he has well surpassed his desired goal. |
