Make content about: Darshan is running major marathons
Darshan was once a wish child during treatment. Now he aims to run the World Marathon Majors before turning 25.
This story
During medical treatment, Darshan felt isolated and lacked control over his life until Make-A-Wish granted his wish for a home gym during lockdown. That gym helped him rebuild his strength, confidence and identity. After completing the London Marathon in April 2026, he launched a challenge to run the World Marathon Majors before turning 25 to support other children facing critical illness.
