Question

9．The sun beat down on Zhang Tingjun as she ran the"City of Peace"marathon （马拉松） in Dili，East Timor，last June．As the 28-year-old came up to the finish line，she felt something rising in her throat （喉咙）．When she was done，she caught sight of her three running mates and saw that they were also troubled by emotion．It was not because their unpleasant experience was over．For Zhang and her friends，each step they took would help save a life．
It all started in July 2009 when the four young Singaporean women decided to go on an adventure （历险） together．Someone suggested a five-day bicycle race and they jumped at it．
Soon they were talking about the poverty （贫穷） that has troubled East Timor．"The conversation slowly turned to a common subject-to use adventure as a chance for change，"Zhang recalls．They set up The Chain Reaction Project （TCRP），with the goal of using their love for sport and adventure to help the poor．
In addition to their four-hour-a-day training plan，they asked families，friends and workmates for donations （赞助）．Their first efforts raised just 78．Then out of the blue，Zhang's friend，Ivy Singh Lim，donated﹩15，550．"To have someone believe what we are doing means more than the money in my hand，"says Zhang．In all they raised more than﹩35，000．
The four friends arrived in Dili in August 2009，several days ahead of the start of the race．Needing a place to stay，they took up an offer to camp at HIAM Health，a children saving center．
During their week at the center，the women learned that more than half of Timorese children under five don't have enough food．They also discovered that the center was trying to get enough money to prove what it could do to help．TCRP came to a decision the money they had raised would go to HAIM Health．
One child at the center rounded Zhang's heart．Two-year-old Sarah came from a poor family．"Sometimes the children's condition is so bad that they cannot grow normally．But Sarah received help early enough and became all right soon，"Zhang recalls．
When the TCRP members returned for the 2010 Dili marathon，they were joined by 18 other runners．The group raised﹩10，000 for HIAM Health，as well as a﹩21，750 playground donated by Playpoint Singapore．Today HIAM Health plays an important role in poor children's lives．
TCRP next plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro，the highest mountain in Africa，in February 2011．Their goal：to raise at least﹩30，000 for AIDS children．
"We know a﹩10，000 donation isn't going to save the world，"Zhang says．"The effort of a group of people will be far greater than the four of us can achieve on our own．"
