Vicky - The Runner Donor

  Vicky - The Runner Donor 


Mr. Maninder Singh Sidhu, dearly known as Vicky started his running journey in 2016 after serving to a young handsome son as a single parent. Like any other Human he thought it’s time now that he will run out all the build of raising the kid single handedly and achieve better health goals in life. But destiny had its own plan , in 2018 the devastating news of his brother in law(BIL)needing a liver transplant shattered the family. The brother to his dearest sister that Maninder is, couldn’t stop and braved to step up and donate his Liver (65%) for his bil, brave because he wasn’t even aware at the time of decision making that liver can regenerate. The rock , endured all the transplant pain which troubled him for quite few months and slowly the runner in him started tapping him to run again, he sushed this inner voice quite few times only to let it dominate and start a tiny weeny 7 kms and than 10 kms and than few countable half marathons.

While all the ups and downs Mr Vicky was able to touch ground with his close friend Jayraj who motivated him to join Ahmedabad Distance Runners (ADR) in 2021, and that was it . In a month or two of joining the group the beast was awaken and he and his best friend Venky decided to do 21*21 forgetting the fact that he is Mr Vicky 😄! Very soon the 21*21 got converted into 21*75 and today it’s 21*275!! The unbeatable Ck beast is on the journey till infinity and we awestruck in his awesomeness can only bow down! 

And lastly behind every successful runner there’s a family, for him it was the untiring and selfless support from his parents and the young champ who has been his loudest cheerer made all this awesomeness possible!!!

Cheers to the human he is and Cheers to the Runner he is !!!

We feel Lucky that  Vicky - The Runner Donor is part of our ADR September Challance Team Ironman Squad Champs 2022 and he always teaches humanity to us and Believer of
