ONE Championship: Angela Lee to ‘honour’ sister Victoria in New York AAPI charity run after death at 18
- ONE Championship atomweight MMA champ will complete 5km community fun run in New York with her husband and their infant daughter
- ‘One of the places my sister always dreamed of going to was New York. I know her spirit will be there alongside us as we celebrate her,’ Lee says
Angela Lee will run the AAPI 5k in New York on May 6 in honour of her sister Victoria Lee, who died aged 18 last December.
The ONE Championship atomweight MMA champion will complete the challenge with her husband and fellow fighter Bruno Pucci, as well as their infant daughter.
A community fun run celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the event will raise funds for local AAPI non-profits, including the Asian Mental Health Collective.
“We will be doing this event in honour of Victoria,” 26-year-old Angela wrote in an Instagram post.
“One of the places my sister always dreamed of going to was New York. I know her spirit will be there alongside us as we celebrate her and remember her. If you are in NYC or anywhere nearby, I encourage you to come out to this event.”
“If you’re unable to make it to NYC for the 5k, you are more than welcome to sign up virtually and do a 5k from wherever you are at,” Lee added in another post.
