This is Barinderjit Cheema also known as Usingh Bolt. He is originally from Gateshead and now lives in Walshall in Greater Manchester.
He has undertaken a fantastic running challenge. This is to run 50 50Ks before he turns 50 years old in November 2025. The first 50K was on his 49th birthday and all being well, his final run in this challenge before he turns 50.
In addition to the 50Ks, he will be also participating in a number of half marathons and marathons to fundraise for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Teenage Cancer Trust offers unique care and support, designed for and with young people who have got cancer. They fund specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units with the NHS, so young people have dedicated staff and facilities to support them throughout the treatment.
He currently works in Aldi and Teenage Cancer Trust is one of their partners.
Barinderjit said, “For my last big challenge, I want to raise as much money as I can for this amazing charity. The work they do to support those with cancer in their teenage years, which are not easy at the best of times, is incredible”.
He wanted to add in additional events that he has enjoyed taking on in the past and that stood out for him. He completed the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon in partnership with Clarion in 2023, the first year the marathon started, and was fortunate to meet Rob at the finish. He said, “The atmosphere on the day on course was electric and one of the best race atmospheres I’ve ever run in.” So, he is taking it on again this year.
His main reason for starting his running journey was for his wellbeing in 2006. The mental and physical benefits he found was incredible. More than that though was also running for a cause. He has run for many causes over the years that he is passionate about it is a massive motivation when he runs. He knows it will help make a difference in the lives of others.
He cannot wait to run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon once again to finish his challenge while raising as much money for Teenage Cancer Trust as possible.
We know you will smash your fundraising goal Barinderjit and we cannot wait till you to cross that finish line.
