As part of my personal support, I set myself a challenge: to run 81 kilometres over ten days. The Proof of Life campaign calls for credible confirmation that Aung San Suu Kyi is alive and well. It seeks transparency and independent verification of her welfare following years of detention and limited public information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This challenge was a personal initiative rather than a company-led campaign, but I was grateful for the encouragement and support of my colleagues throughout. Regardless of politics, I believe that every person deserves dignity and the right for families to know that their loved ones are safe and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running has a way of teaching perseverance. Progress comes from consistency, showing up day after day, even when conditions are difficult. Over the ten days, there were busy workdays, tired legs, and challenging weather, but each run brought me closer to the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights came on the final day, when a colleague joined me for the closing run. After ten days of effort, it was a meaningful way to finish the challenge and reflect on the support I had received. When I completed the final kilometre, I felt a sense of achievement \u2014 not because of the distance alone, but because the challenge helped create conversations and awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProof of life matters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2316\" height=\"2316\" src=\"https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited.jpg 2316w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/caleywater.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/shared-image-1-edited-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2316px) 100vw, 2316px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Caley Water, we support colleagues in sharing personal challenges and stories that are meaningful to them.
