On Sunday 10 August, Ethan Ko (Form 5) completed his third City2Surf run.
My older brother has profound autism and for 15 years has attended Giant Steps, a school for children and young adults with autism. Fundraising for the first time this year, my goal was to run a personal best and give back to the school even just a little, however I had no expectation to fulfill these to such an extent. Raising over $11,000, family and friends were extremely generous in their donations, and knowing my brother personally, they wanted to show their support, understanding the challenges he faces. It was humbling to see how compassionate people are in supporting individuals who cannot live life in the same way we do. I am extremely grateful to everyone who helped me reach this goal and I hope it was able to help giant steps continue their journey to change lives.
