Rakesh would have turned 40 this year ... and in 2 months time it would be 5 years since his physical presence in this world has passed on. He was gone too soon...but he continues to remain alive in all of our hearts . A lot has happened in the past 5 years; we have continued our journey onwards and forwards holding each other tight. This however would not have happened without the help and support of my family and friends - some old and some new..

All of us have experienced losing someone close to us in our lives - a parent .. a partner.. a sibling.. a child...a grandparent..a pet.. the list can go on . Myself and the boys hope that through our story we can help raise money for these 2 amazing charities. With the work they do even if one life could be saved or one family could be supported through their grief - wouldn't it be worth it?

We are doing this 'Runathon' as a family with my children - Shreyas and Samarth who are aged 10 and 6 respectively. The challenge is that we run a minimum of 1 km a day ( it can be more ) for 60 days ending on the 28th of June . I will be linking my STRAVA data for you all to see and support. - Mallika

Thank you !
