A 35-year-old professional who lost a leg in a train mishap is set to run his 77th marathon in the upcoming JBG Kolkata World 10k running event on Sunday. I fell off the train, and my left leg got crushed under the wheels.” At the time of the accident, Mr. Kumar worked in a private firm in Kolkata. “My mother got a heart attack stressing over me, and my wife and kids were burdened with my care,” Mr. Kumar said. We summited Mount Kilimanjaro, skydived over Tanzania, and scuba-dived near the Zanzibar archipelago in August this year,” Mr. Kumar said. Currently, Mr. Kumar is preparing for his next two goals — to run his 77th marathon in the JBG Kolkata World 10k in Kolkata on Sunday, and to scale Mount Everest in the near future.
