“I didn’t start running to win medals. I started running to survive the loss of my daughter.” In 2016, Sandeep lost his 10-month-old daughter, Zarouhi, to a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia. He was the living donor in her transplant. She didn’t survive. He did - but barely. The grief of her passing was devastating. He went through series of emotions ranging from guilt to self-questioning and “I kept thinking, maybe if I had been healthier… maybe I shouldn’t have been the donor… maybe I killed her”. The donation impaired his own liver function, and the health continued to deteriorate. he slipped into depression – that took a further toll on mental well-being. Running began not as a sport, but as escape. A step out of despair. One painful run led to another… until it slowly gave his grief a shape. Running became therapy. Purpose. A way to keep breathing. Since then, Sandeep has run not just marathons, but ultramarathons—250 kilometres across deserts, snowfields, and high-altitude terrains. He earned the Six Star Medal and the Grand Slam Plus medal, by running 250 KM self-supported ultramarathons in 5 different deserts (Namibia, Antarctica, Jordan, Mongolia, and Chile) in a period of 12 months. In every race, he carries Zarouhi’s memory in his heart - and sometimes, her photo in his pocket. In 2022, he suffered a heart stroke. But instead of stopping, he recommitted. Because he’s not chasing finish lines - he’s chasing legacy. A legacy - not just as a father, a husband, a friend but more of someone who was transformed by his journey. He is now a mission to help others turn grief into a motivation to keep going “I run with my grief, not away from it. I run so others may find strength in their own sorrow. I run for those who never got the chance.” His journey reminds us: “The most powerful finish lines don’t mark the end. They mark a beginning.”

Bobby White is running the World Marathon Challenge in memory of his brother, Anton Rogan White, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 15 due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Since Anton’s passing, Bobby’s family has raised around £75,000 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (GCHC), and Bobby hopes to help bring that total to £100,000 through this challenge. Bobby has completed five marathons, beginning with Loch Ness in 2012 and most recently finishing Edinburgh just two days ago—despite currently struggling to walk, let alone run. The World Marathon Challenge will be the most demanding test of his life, physically, mentally, and emotionally, but one he’s fully committed to.
