So I signed up to run for the UK Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund. I didn\u2019t raise much money, but even small contributions count. Now, my country Malaysia is experiencing the worst flood in decades. More than 100,000 people, especially in the east coast, were forced to evacuate their homes. It warms my heart to see my friends back home volunteering and contributing for the flood relief but heart-breaking, because I can\u2019t join them. All I could do is donate money and make sure it was delivered to those who need it the most. For 2015, I want to give more. Whether it\u2019s in monetary form, time, energy, network or even my video editing capabilities, I want to do more to help those who are in need \u2013 whether they are back home in Malaysia or here in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2014\/11\/alice-white-icon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-698 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/postgraduate\/files\/2014\/11\/alice-white-icon.jpg\" alt=\"alice-white-icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a>To have more adventures, and to get fit!
