Simranjeet is running in the marathon to challenge the stereotypes that divides everyone apart and to show people in why he believes the New York City Marathon truly brings the world together. “I want people to see me for who I am — a Sikh American — and recognize me for my humanity and as a representative of America’s culture. I am excited to run by the tens of thousands of supporters who will cheer as I run through the streets of NYC and perhaps for the first time, connect with and appreciate someone who looks like me,” said Simranjeet Singh.
Simranjeet wants all cultures from different backgounds to come together and be proud of who they are and send a message that we all can live in a diverse community. Simranjeet said ” I want to show everyone that I love this city, and that its diversity is its greatest asset. In short, I want to run the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon to send a message to everyone in the running community that we can lead the pack and celebrate and ensure a diverse and united community.”
