Sachin Latti is the heart of Sachinmotion. With a growing team of supporters around him, his goal is to raise money and awareness for veterans & first responders in need of help as they heal from PTSD & mental health illnesses, as these issues have been a part of his life.
Sachin comes from a Sikh community that has been in military service for hundreds of years, as well as a family with a history in the armed forces. He runs for veterans because it’s in his blood. Lieutenant Gurbux Singh, Sachin’s great-grandfather, served in WWI under the British Indian Army with great distinction, and his son, Sachin’s great uncle, Lieutenant Colonel Bhag Singh, was awarded the Military Cross fighting in WWII.
Sachin’s grandfather, Bhajan Singh, served in the Punjab Police for many years, retiring at the rank of Superintendent of Police. Continuing Sachin’s family’s dedication to service, Bhajan Singh was awarded the President of India Meritorious Police Medal.
After 18 years of law enforcement service, Sachin came to the realization that he’d experienced situations that he didn’t know how to cope with mentally. Now, as he learns how to deal with his own mental health, he wants to honour the memories of his forefathers and those that paved the way for him and advocate for those that have been in similar situations.
Sachin recently completed 22 marathons in 22 days in British Columbia Canada in support of Honour House, a tranquil retreat, a place of education and personal growth. Here, members of our Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans, Emergency Services Personnel, and their families can discover cutting-edge strategies in the treatment of operational stress injuries including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The goal: empower these heroes so they are better equipped to navigate the often debilitating emotional and physical stresses of selfless commitment to service.
