Deepak’s LLHM Challenge
The Challenge
Prof Deepak Ravindran is a consultant in pain medicine and long-time supporter of Pain Concern. In 2025 he ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon (LLHM) not only to raise funds for Pain Concern but inspire others to do the same.
The Experience
The London Landmarks Half Marathon delivers something special. Packed crowds. Famous landmarks. A route past Big Ben, the Tower of London, and along the Thames. The atmosphere lifts you from start to finish.
You Don’t Need to Be Super Fit
Worried about your fitness level? Deepak had been out of training for several years before taking part. He followed the same simple, realistic principles that he recommends to his own patients. Pace yourself. Be kind to your body. Build fitness step by step. Progress matters more than speed. If he can do it, so can you!
The Bigger Picture
Deepak’s support for Pain Concern comes from his commitment to pain science education and raising awareness of how complex pain can be. More than 20 million people in the UK live with persistent musculoskeletal pain. That is more than diabetes, stroke, and heart disease combined. He sees this as a major public health issue and recognises Pain Concern as a charity making a real difference.
Why It Matters
For Deepak, running was about doing something that counts. The challenge pushed him physically and mentally, while raising funds for people living with persistent pain.
