The inspiring true story of Fauja Singh, who broke world records to become the first one hundred-year-old to run a marathon, shares valuable lessons on the source of his grit, determination to overcome obstacles, and commitment to positive representation of the Sikh community.
Simran Jeet Singh loves sports and signed up for his first marathon
after being inspired by Fauja Singh -- and like Fauja, he hasn't
stopped running since. Simran is an activist, writer, and scholar
who believes deeply in the divine goodness of all people. He was
born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and now lives in New York
City with his wife and two daughters.
