Over the years, the Tata Mumbai Marathon has grown beyond a running event. It has evolved as a celebration of a unique, quintessential spirit of Mumbai embodied in its exemplary diversity, determination, and most importantly philanthropy. It exhibits the power of sports (marathons) to unite people, promote healthy living, and drive positive change in society by contributing to social causes.


Going beyond that magic finish line, the impact of the Tata Mumbai Marathon is felt through the wide-ranging charitable initiatives, the TMM 2025 supports, contributing to enriching the lives of the special needs community. As the Tata Mumbai Marathon continues to inspire, unite, and make a difference, it stands as a shining example of how sports can transcend human-made boundaries to create a lasting positive change. 

The Tata Mumbai Marathon has gained international recognition for its impeccable organization, strong participation, and its unique blend of competitive and community-oriented aspects. The race has attracted elite athletes worldwide, contributing to its reputation as one of Asia's leading marathons. This international appeal enhances Mumbai's global sports and cultural hub status.

 One of the NGOS that has been actively participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon is the Association of Parents of Mentally Challenged Children – ADHAR www.adhar.org The Tata Mumbai Marathon helps the NGO not only in raising donations for the institution but also, most importantly, in creating public awareness on issues like the incurable mental disabilities. Adhar is an NGO that began with the vision of its founder to provide lifetime care and shelter to those adult mentally challenged adults who would need lifetime care and support to survive in society. This NGO ever since its foundation has been striving hard to serve the needs of such mentally challenged adults and their parents and caregivers.

Fund Raiser Appeal for Adhar – TMM 2025 

Last year, I was one of the members who joined the TMM 2024 campaign for raising funds for ADHAR – The Association of Parents of Mentally Retarded Children, which has changed the lives of 350 plus mentally challenged adults and brought in smiles and respite on the lives of their parents and caregivers.

 Some segments often go unnoticed and underserved in a society striving for inclusivity and compassion. Among these are mentally challenged adults, who require specialized care and support throughout their lives. ADHAR is one such organization that prides itself in providing meaningful lifetime care and shelter and makes these special children live a life of love, care, and dignity all through their lives. 

 I am using the platform of Tata Mumbai Marathon 2025 to make this humble appeal, seeking support for ADHAR, from friends, family, acquaintances, and colleagues, and appeal to you all to please contribute to this institution. Donations qualify under 80G of the Income Tax. Here is a link to my TMM 2025 pledge page for your kind consideration.
