He put a lot of efforts through exercises and practices for New York Marathon 2012 which was to be his first full marathon and charity event. Through Patrick Kalona’s support, YCAB raised fund in the amount 130 millions rupiah to be used for woman empowerment and education programs for underprivileged children.
