An active sportsman and a representative for his organization in various competitions including Cross Country, Dragon Boat, Squash, Swimming and many many more, Champion passed away a few days after the Passion run 2008.
Reports noted that he had fever and flu-like symptom before the run but he ignored them as he had done before. The family disuaded him from racing, but he went ahead nonetheless. He felt unwell the following day and visited the doctor. Thinking that it was just another common flu he took medication and when back to his normal routine assuming that it would heal sooner. However, he got worse on Wednesday and was admitted to A&E. Sadly, all his body organs including kidney, liver etc eventually malfunctioned.
This is another timely reminder to always listen to our bodies. There will always be another race.
