Decision to live healthy takes 48-year-old to finish line of Arctic marathon


A feat to be proud of: Sia Chien Vui set out to make a change in his life after being diagnosed with high blood pressure. He decided to take up running and soon joined marathons all over the world.

RUNNING was never Sia Chien Vui’s cup of tea and it was not his workout of choice by a longshot, but that all changed when the 48-year-old fainted about a year-and-a-half ago.

“The doctors diagnosed me with high blood pressure,” he said, adding that the need to exercise and change his lifestyle drove him to try running.
