Congratulations Rafi!
You absolutely smashed the Great North Run just like we all knew you would.
For anyone not familiar with he is the most remarkable human.
At just 12 years old, Rafi’s world changed when he suffered a life-changing stroke, spending over a year in hospital. But that wasn’t the end of his story — it was the beginning of a new chapter.
Thanks to support from the Boparan Charitable Trust Rafi received his first running frame… and he hasn’t stopped running since — going on to win gold and silver medals in the 100m and 200m!
We first had the pleasure of meeting Rafi whilst filming a video for the Bright Star Ball which is a fundraising event for , since then we have caught up with him at their events and everytime he just amazes us with what he has been up to.
We’re proud to have sponsored Rafi in his latest challenge and can’t wait to see what he gets up next!
