About Me
My name is Manish Khatwani, and I feel truly blessed to be part of Access Life Assistance Foundation. Over the years, I have met countless little warriors—children battling cancer—who show extraordinary courage every single day. Their smiles, even in the toughest moments, have touched me deeply and given me a new perspective on life.
What moves me most is seeing families who travel from faraway towns and villages, arriving in an unfamiliar city with nothing but hope in their hearts. Access Life becomes their safe haven—a place where they find comfort, care, and dignity while their child undergoes treatment.
I support Access Life because I have seen first-hand how a “Home Away from Home” can change everything for these families. It eases their emotional and financial burden and allows them to focus on what truly matters—helping their child heal.
For me, this is not just a cause; it is a calling. Every child deserves a chance to fight cancer with hope and strength, and every parent deserves to feel they are not alone in this battle.
Through my journey with Access Life, I have learned that compassion can truly change lives. And that is why I am proud to stand for this mission—so that together, we can bring light and hope to many more families in their darkest hours.
Appeal
Dear Friends,
I am delighted to share that I am running for a cause close to my heart at the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026.
As many of you know, I, Manish Khatwani, have had the privilege of being part of Access Life Assistance Foundation, an organization that has been dedicated to supporting children battling cancer and their families for over a decade. Every day, I witness the courage of these young warriors and the resilience of their caregivers who travel from across India in search of treatment and hope.
Access Life provides them not just with free shelter, nutritious meals, safe transportation, counselling, and education, but also with an environment filled with dignity, love, and care. Having seen the impact of this work firsthand, I feel deeply committed to ensuring that more families in need can find a “Home Away from Home” during their most difficult journey.
Through my participation in TMM 2026, I appeal to you to join me in making a difference. Your support will help us expand our reach, sustain our nine centres across seven cities, and move closer to our vision of supporting 500 families by 2030.
Every contribution, big or small, will help bring comfort and hope to a child fighting cancer. Together, we can increase survival rates and give these children the chance at life they truly deserve.
I urge you to stand with me and support Access Life Assistance Foundation. Let us run, give, and spread hope—one step at a time.
With gratitude,
Manish Khatwani
