I was never into running growing up. Only when I started working that I developed passion for running through participating in corporate relays. I entered for Comrades marathon after a friend convinced me. He did not tell me that I must run a qualifying marathon under 5 hours to take part at Comrades.

Since then I have run 13 Comrades marathons with 8 silver medals and the best time 6h23, overall position 57. I’ve completed 4 World Majors : Chicago, New York , Boston and Berlin ; with my personal best at Berlin (2:37:18).

I have won two Backyard Ultras and rated third in South with 243 km completed. I am passionate about running and assist with raising funds for disadvantages communities.
