I don't know him, but as a runner, I felt he was a kindred spirit. I probably ran in a couple of the same races that he did, like The Performance Series at Gardens by the Bay.


It was heartbreaking to read the tributes to Mr Woon on the running-related Facebook pages I follow.

Now I see that a community does exist — sadly, only after it came together to honour a fallen comrade.
