SINGAPORE - He has dedicated to Singapore runs to both Mount Everest and the North Pole. While this year's run is not under extreme conditions, there is just as much passion behind it.
Yet it was in 2008 - when a skin infection led to his left leg being amputated - that was both his darkest moment and his turning point."I thought that the amputation would put me in a wheelchair. And then, who would feed my family, my children?" Mr Shariff added:"In 2018, I was invited to take part in the FWD North Pole Marathon. It felt amazing to cross the finishing line, flying the national flag."
Along with his team, the Northern Pacers of Singapore, their National Day run will begin at Block 745 Yishun Street 72 and finish at Our Tampines Hub, where Mr Shariff and his team will recite the National Pledge.
