About
Famous as both a supercentenarian and a champion runner, he claimed numerous United Kingdom and world records for his running times in the over-ninety-years-old age category. Impressively, he finished Toronto's 2003 Waterfront Marathon in just over five and a half hours and ran the same year's London Marathon in just six hours and two minutes.
Family
He and his three older siblings were raised in Punjab, British India. Grieving the deaths of his wife, son and daughter (all during a two-year period in the early 1990s), he turned to running for solace.
