Episode 20: Coach Kai Ng and Leland Yu on Asian representation and Running for Chinatown
When Leland Yu found himself unemployed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, he decided it was a good time to start running. Then Asian hate crimes became a byproduct of the pandemic, and Leland saw running as the best tool to raise awareness against Asian hate crimes. Running also became an outlet to support the businesses in Chinatown and essential workers. With the help of running coach Kai Yu, Leland went from being comfortable at running 5 miles, to one day running 61 miles in 12 hours and raising $25,000 for Chinatown businesses. You can catch them every Monday night with their new group, Run for Chinatown.
