About Me

''The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life''. After successfully completing 10 Kms in 55 mins in the year 2020 and with similar timings in 2023 and 2024, I am keen to run and spread a bit of joy this year as well.

Whilst staying healthy and fit is common practice in our daily life and we run for fun, here is an opportunity to run for a cause.

Out of many social evils faced in recent times, safety of women and children from violence and health hazards is of serious concern and every small effort to eradicate the same will be a blessing for our society. With this intent in my mind, I am supporting SNEHA.
