This photo was taken during the Khon Kaen Marathon last year. I joined the race because I love the race and friends, just like what this picture captures. The picture shows that everyone is a runner, each with different physical condition—some older, some younger, some with short legs, others with long ones and I’m just a runner with my wheelchair.

February 18th, 2023 I finally had a chance to talk to students at Pattaya Redemptorist Technological College for People with Disabilities. It had been a long time since my last visit. My main intention for organizing this talk was to have a casual chat with the fellow students. When I asked about their dreams, many of the students answered in the same way: “I want to be able to live independently, have a job, and be able to help my family.” This was word-for-word what Father Ray, the founder of the college, had said since its inception.
