Anupbhai Shah  is a Finchley Kendra parent. "They say life beings at 40 and for me that meant learning to swim and wanting to run a marathon. I have for many years used running to keep fit, but have nothing to show for it.  Therefore, I decided to try and run the London Marathon. Like many of the runners I am going to fundraise and I will be doing so for Shishukunj. Since 1991 Shishukunj International Projects (SIP) have been supporting the welfare of children all over the world."
