The great Fauja Singh

Fauja Singh(born 1911),a British citizen, started running when he was 89 to cure his depression after his son Kuldip was killed in front of him in 1994 in a construction accident.

                              Fauja Singh is a vegetarian.Just before turning 102,he ran the Hong Kong Marathon in 1:32:28 as the world's oldest marathon runner.

                               Ironically as a child his legs were weak and thin and he could hardly walk long distances.He only started walking at the age of 5.
