In this series, we speak to marathoners who have turned their passion for running into something extraordinary. This month, we speak to Marie Choo, The Dog Alchemist. The former owner of a public relations agency is now a dog behaviourist and trainer, and uses her marathons to raise funds for her own initiative, ‘I RUN FOR RESCUE DOGS’.

In this series, we hear from travellers who don’t just travel for leisure but to make a difference in the world. This month, we hear from senior merchandiser Rachel Lim, who volunteers her time to work with rescue elephants in Chiang Mai!
