A runner who survived the Rwandan genocide by hiding underneath his father and then lived on the streets of London for a year will run the marathon for the second time as a tribute to the charity which transformed and possibly saved his life.
Claude Umuhire, 31, now helps homeless young people in the capital through his work at the Running Charity, which took him off the streets more than a decade ago. He came to London aged 10 after his father and two brothers were killed, his life saved only by his father’s selfless act.
