Story

Hello everyone, Thank you for supporting me for the last few years. Without your tremendous support, I could not have achieved so much.

I enjoyed running the marathon in the Olympic year 2012 for British Lung Foundation. Their work is great, so I'm running for them again!

Since 2012 I have been a member of Croydon Addictive Behaviour Alliance as Health Champion and Public Representative.

The aim is to raise awareness of diseases due to the consumption of tobacco, both smoking and chewing; which is especially common in the Indian community.

I will be training very hard and really hope that people take on board the strong message, that consumption of tobacco takes peoples lives.

Last year, in the final 6 miles, I was caught in pouring rain, blistery wind and hailstones hitting down on my face. Somehow I got through it, thanks to everybody's support.
