It will be a privilege to be running the 2026 London Marathon in support of Khandel Light Charity, driven by a shared commitment to creating meaningful, long-term change. Khandel Light Charity work to improve the lives of the vulnerable and disadvantaged families in Khandel and its surrounding villages situated in the desert State of Rajasthan, India.

Khandel Light Charity’s focus on opportunity, education, community support, and empowering individuals to build brighter futures, supporting others to thrive, and using collective effort to make a positive impact. This marathon is not just a personal challenge, but a way to stand behind causes that believe in compassion, resilience, and improving lives through action.

Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated, and will make a huge difference to the young people and families in this region.

Khandel light, a registered charity, was created in June 2000 by Dr Peter Gough, following his first visit to Khandel, Rajasthan. Dr Gough formed a committee of ten volunteer Trustees, drawing together a broad range of skills and expertise. The Trustees sought to improve the quality of life in this desert region, one of the poorest in India and indeed the World.

The community currently supported by Khandel light consists of 26 villages with a total population of around 30,000, covering an area of approximately 300 square kilometers (120 square miles). This is roughly equivalent to the rural section of the North Hertfordshire District, around the towns of Baldock, Hitchin, Letchworth and Royston.
