Running for a Purpose

Hi, I’m Sonal Chopra , . — an auditor by profession, teacher by passion, and runner by choice. yes i juggle between all three apart from carrying the home front responsibilities


Running has been a part of my life for the past 10 years, and it has given me strength, discipline, and a sense of purpose. Over the years, I’ve completed several races — from the Pune to Mumbai run and Tata Ultra 50, to the Full Marathon at the Tata Mumbai Marathon (TMM).


But this year, I’m not just running for myself — I’m running for Enrich Lives Foundation and their beautiful initiative, the Ashiana Project.


Ashiana is a safe home for children who are at a difficult crossroads — kids who face homelessness, hunger, and hopelessness. These little ones often struggle with malnutrition, poor hygiene, and lack of basic amenities.

This cause is very close to my heart. ?

I’m running to help secure their future — to ensure they have food, safety, education, and the chance to dream again.


I urge you to join me in this journey — to give these children the care and dignity they deserve.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.

Appeal

Every child deserves a place where they feel safe, loved, and heard.
But for many underprivileged children, safety is a luxury — not a given.


Ashiana, a project by Enrich Lives Foundation, is more than just a shelter — it’s a sanctuary.

It’s where children from vulnerable backgrounds find comfort, care, and the chance to dream again.

Here, they receive not only food and education but also the warmth of belonging — something every child deserves.

This year, as I run the Tata Mumbai Marathon, I’m running for Ashiana.

Each step I take is for a child who deserves safety instead of fear, hope instead of despair, and a home instead of the streets.

Your contribution, big or small, can change a life.

It can help build stronger walls of safety, fill more plates with food, and bring more smiles to little faces that have seen too much pain too soon.

Let’s run together — not just for the finish line, but for a future where every child has a home called Ashiana.

Join me in giving these children a reason to dream again.
