When Sean Xian was born with a congenital heart defect, his father Eric Tan Chin Zhia didn't know where to turn or how to fund the treatment his newborn son urgently needed.
Sean Xian had his first open heart surgery within two weeks of birth, and that early intervention changed everything.
Today, he's 11 — jogging, playing basketball, and planning to own a fast-food restaurant someday.
Eric knows first-hand how isolating that journey can be. That's why he's running for YJKM, so that families facing the same situation today have somewhere to turn and the support to get their child the help they need.
Donate to YJKM via an RFAR runner today to give children born with congenital heart defects a second chance: https://www.kl-marathon.com/charity/run-for-a-reason/runners-profile/2026/
