Story

Dear friends, family, and fellow supporters,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am excited to share that I will be participating in the London Marathon 2024 in the full-marathon category, and I am dedicating my run to support the incredible work of Get Kids Going.

Get Kids Going is a UK based national charity close to my heart, providing sports equipment and support to disabled children and young people, helping them lead active and fulfilling lives. They aim to give support to all budding paralympians in the build up to the Summer Paralympics, Winter Paralympics, Commonwealth Games, European and World Championships and many more events.

Through my participation in the marathon, I aim to raise funds to contribute to their mission of making sports and fitness accessible to every child, regardless of their abilities.

For those supporters who do not know me – My name is Pranab and I am a father, a husband, a son, an amateur chef, an occasional cricketer, a long distance runner and an investment banker, depending on what time and which day you come across me. Coming from a not-so-privileged background, I understand the value of the smallest contribution to those who need it the most. I try to give back to the society in whatever small way possible. I am a regular blood donor, and, in the past, I have successfully carried out fundraising campaigns for charities in Hong Kong and India.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact on the lives of these inspiring youngsters. Your support will not only motivate me through the grueling 26.2 miles but, more importantly, it will directly contribute to creating opportunities and empowering these kids.

Join me in making a difference. Together, let's help Get Kids Going turn dreams into reality for children facing physical challenges. Click the [Donate] button and be a part of this incredible journey.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
