Why I’m Running My First Half Marathon for AADI!!!

For the past few years, I’ve proudly participated in the Mumbai Marathon, running the 10K to raise funds for causes close to my heart. This year, however, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone in more ways than one—I’ve signed up for the 21K Half Marathon for the very first time!

The reason? It’s twofold. First, the 10K slots filled up faster than ever this year, and I didn’t want to miss the chance to support a cause as impactful as AADI (Action for Ability Development and Inclusion). Second, I wanted to challenge myself to do something bigger, knowing it’s for an organization that truly makes a difference.

AADI works tirelessly to empower individuals with disabilities, fostering independence, dignity, and equal opportunities. Their work inspires me, and I hope it inspires you too.

This half marathon is a personal milestone, and it’s made even more meaningful by the opportunity to give back. I humbly ask for your support—every contribution, no matter the amount, will directly help AADI continue their incredible work.

Together, we can make a difference. Let’s cross this finish line for a brighter, more inclusive future. Thank you for your generosity and encouragement!
