Support My Campaign
Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024

Cerebral palsy can create a powerful illusion of helplessness and hopelessness for the child that it affects. However, I believe that this is truly just an illusion. Beneath the thorny layers of an un-cooperative body and the challenges of mobility, there lies an intelligent mind, whose potential I believe is vast and can be unleashed. As a 15-year-old with a strong belief in the potential of every individual, I have chosen to partner with Able Disabled All People Together (ADAPT) , an organization that shares my vision of unleashing the vast potential that lies within children affected by cerebral palsy. Here's how you can make a meaningful impact: 1. Donate: Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will directly support ADAPT's efforts in providing better facilities to impact even more lives. 2. Spread the Word: Share my campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change that reaches far and wide. 3. Join the Cause: Consider participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024 as part of Team ADAPT. Let's come together to make a difference that goes beyond the finish line. To donate or learn more about my campaign, please visit . Thank you for considering my heartfelt appeal. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will leave an indelible mark on the lives of these children. Warm regards, Sherman D'Costa shermandcosta@gmail.com

About Me
"Just a young boy who wants to make a change" A young advocate for change and a firm believer in the boundless potential that resides within every individual. My name is Sherman D'Costa, School Captain of Campion School, Mumbai and at the age of 15, I am embarking on a journey that holds immense significance to me – a journey that transcends mere miles and reaches deep into the hearts and minds of those in need. From a young age, I have been captivated by the power of determination and the incredible strength that emerges when faced with challenges. The illusion of helplessness and hopelessness that often surrounds children affected by cerebral palsy is a barrier that needs to be shattered and my aim is just that.
