“Age is simply the number of years the world has been enjoying you”

Turning old is not the end of the journey. It is simply a time to reminisce with your loved ones and try out things you never could before.

Meet SuperHero Fauj Singh, also known as the turbaned tornado. He did not take up running until the age of 89! Superhero Fauj singh is known as the world’s oldest marathon runner who at the age of 100 continues to run full marathon.

He ran his first marathon at the age of 90 and has continued to do so.  Fauj Singh has been an inspiration not to the elderly but also to the children where he has been featured as a superhero in a children’s picture book called ‘Fauja singh Keeps Running’ published in the UK.

His story is a combination of challenges he faced with racism, ageism, and disability. At the age of 109, he has discontinued to run but still holds on the record of being the oldest marathon runner.  His legacy is of running all over the world in 26-mile races. Clocking his personal best at 5 hours and 40 minutes has inspired a lot of people. But Fauja Singh was not always motivated to run. After suffering from many ailments, he has taken upon himself to do things that make him happy.

Knowing the inspiration, he has created he has encouraged people to break his record and hopes to see happen one day. Not everyone is cut out to be marathon runners like Fauja singh but he did things that kept him happy and what he loves to do.

“My Father had been admitted into Hospital many times over the last few years but until I spoke with Care Navigators no one had mentioned that he may have been discharged under the Mental Health Act. A Care Funding check and established that his care should have been paid for by the NHS and Local Authority for the last 5 years, saving us nearly £200’000”! I am so grateful."

"Before speaking to Care Navigators I had paid for my Wife’s care, I had no idea the NHS could pay and when it came through I was amazed. All £795 per week was paid, from 7 months ago. I couldn’t believe it. Just to say thank you so very much for all you have done. It is a weight of my mind!"

“Until speaking with Care NavigatorsI had no idea my Sister could get a benefit for being disabled. She had some savings and I presumed we would have to pay for everything we needed. It has made such a difference to her, she uses it to pay for a cleaner and a gardener, which means I can get the shopping and go out.”
