| 520 | |a After being diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer of the bones and muscles, Frank Chong's life took a drastic and difficult turn at the tender age of 12. Born and raised in Johor Bahru, Frank was not unlike most boys his age, active and carefree; his biggest concern was his school exams. His diagnosis altered his life forever but not necessarily for the worse. Not only did Frank manage to beat cancer, he has become an ultramarathon runner. The living inspiration behind the "BE FRANK" cancer awareness campaign, Frank shares the story of his battle with cancer with candour and the remarkable path it has set him on since, to help build a world free of cancer and support those who continue to fight the disease today. His journey has been one of hardship, bravery, love, inspiration and, above all, hope. | ||
