It Changed My Life: This doctor is set to run 200km in 44 hours

Dr Tan aims to raise funds for HCA Hospice Care, a charity which he says has made him a better man

HCA Hospice Care president Tan Poh Kiang ran 100km in 2014 to raise $100,000 for the charity. In March, the 52-year-old doctor will be running double that distance in a bid to raise $200,000.
