Motion text
That this House remembers with great sadness the passing of Fauja Singh the world's oldest marathon runner; celebrates his extraordinary life and achievements, having begun running competitively at the remarkable age of 89 and going on to complete nine full marathons between 2000 and 2013, including setting records across multiple age categories, notably when he was over 100 years old; recognises that he inspired millions across the world not only through his sporting feats but also through his message of perseverance, health and hope; and extends sincere condolences to Fauja's family and friends.
