SINGAPORE BLADE RUNNER
07
SINGAPORE BLADE RUNNER Shariff Abdullah, 48 is a marathon running enthusiast with a difference. Born without a left foot, he earned the title of Singapore’s first ‘Blade Runner’. He runs with a prosthetic blade, similar to those used by South African double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius. He has participated in over 25 marathons and had a dream to run the “Everest Marathon”, from the Everest Base Camp to Namche to inspire others, to achieve beyond what others say. Things however do not turn out how you’d hoped, planned or expected. He discovered that running the marathon was only half a challenge. Reaching the base camp, an altitude of 5380 m under the harshest of weather conditions, fighting altitude sickness and tough mountainous terrain was itself a challenge. He even had to duct tape his prosthetic limb that broke down midway in order to prevent its screws from falling apart. He fought against all the adversities and made it, but got very sick upon reaching there. He had to bear unbearable pain and blisters on the stump where his leg had been amputated, and according to him, the two nights he had to spend at the base camp were the most painful ones of his life. The doctor advised to evacuate him to a warmer place, but he was adamant to run the marathon. When his condition further deteriorated, they took no chance but called an emergency helicopter to fly him to Kathmandu. Everyone who gathered to pay an emotional farewell to him cheered for his determination and perseverance to have made it so far. It was not short of an achievement, and definitely not short of being inspirational. In his own words: “Every run tells a story, For every failure there is hope within, and every ending there’s an achievement and a new beginning”.
