From the 18th to the 20th of July 2007, two of Singapore's ultra-marathon runners, Mr Lim Nghee Huat (Chairman of Mountbatten CCC and MediaCorp Editor, Current Affairs) and Mr Yong Yuen Cheng (Vice- Chairman of Mountbatten CSC and National Junior College Teacher) will embark on a 217km run across Death Valley, through extreme temperatures of up to 55 degrees Celsius and a vertical elevation of 4000m, to raise funds for Mountbatten CCC and National Junior College respectively.

I had spent two years of my life as a student of National Junior College, and I suppose I could do my part by plugging the event here. For those who would like to donate to National Junior College's Student Development Programme and/or to contribute towards the Sports Hall, please refer to the first link found above.
