Ex-MotoGP racer Sylvain Guintoli ran the London marathon in memory of his late son Luca in aid of a cancer charity
Former MotoGP racer and current TNT pundit Sylvain Guintoli recently set an unofficial record in the London Marathon by raising more than £140,000 for a cancer charity.
Guintoli and his family tragically lost his six-year-old son Luca to cancer last year, which motivated him to run the marathon in full riding leathers in Luca’s memory.
The funds raised by Guintoli will benefit PASIC, a charity that provides support for children with cancer and their families.
During the marathon, Guintoli completed the race in three hours, 47 minutes, and 47 seconds, marking an unofficial record for a runner in riding leathers.
His efforts were praised during TNT’s broadcast of the Spanish Grand Prix, where he expressed his gratitude for the support and donations received.
The fundraising campaign has surpassed its initial target of £50,000, showcasing the generosity of donors and the impact it will have on children battling cancer.
