The sister of a Leamington man who has been missing for eight years is set to start a fundraising challenge for a charity for vulnerable people which will lead to her running the London Marathon next year.

Sanjiv 'Tony' Kundi was reported missing on October 15 2013.

On September 25 2013, he had travelled to Paris by Eurostar on the 16.22pm train from St Pancras and was last seen at the Gare du Nord.

From November 30, the day he turns 50, Sanjiv's sister Satvir Sembhi will walk ten miles each month up to October next year when she will run in the London Marathon.

She is taking on the challenge to support Missing People, a charity which offers a lifeline for the 180,000 people who run away and go missing each year and also provides support for their family and friends.

In a message to their missing son, Sanjiv's parents said: "“Happy special birthday to you our dear son.

"You are sorely missed and we yearn for the day we see you again.
