About Me

We are Riddhima Daiya, Keona Asher and Ira Jain, studying in the Cathedral and John Connon Middle School. We are 13 year old girls with a shared passion for making a difference. This year, we’re taking on the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 with a purpose far bigger than crossing the finish line—we are running to support the Jai Vakeel Foundation. They are an organisation that provides life-changing support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For us, this is not just about running a marathon; it is about using our voices, energy, and determination to create awareness and raise funds for a cause that truly matters. Each step we take represents our commitment to building a more inclusive world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Appeal

We are three friends running the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 to support the Jai Vakeel Foundation, a cause close to our hearts. This incredible organization works with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), which impact cognitive, social, and motor skills, requiring specialized care and interventions. Through their programs, the foundation provides education, healthcare, and life skills training, empowering individuals to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. By running this marathon together, we hope to raise awareness and funds to support their transformative work. Every step we take is a step toward building a more inclusive and supportive society for those who need it most.
