Fortunately the National Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, Taipei City Government, Yulon Automotive, Hsin Tung Yang Enterprises, and the Chinese Marathon Association stepped up to the plate, allowing Lin to overcome the financial obstacles he faced and dedicate himself fully to preparing for the races.
所幸，在體委會、台北市政府、裕隆汽車、新東陽企業、馬拉松協會等單位和企業的支持和贊助下，林義傑才得以克服經濟上的障礙，心無旁騖地準備比賽。
