About Me

I’m Ankit Shah, and this year, On 18th Jan 2026, I’ll be running the Tata Mumbai Marathon 10k to raise funds for a cause that’s very close to my heart – Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care. Jivdaya Trust and Cuddles Foundation.

With its 206 global centres, this incredible organisation is dedicated to holistic and sustainable development through a range of initiatives that uplift underprivileged communities, provide care for animals, and work to protect our environment.

Cuddles Foundation is India's only NGO dedicated to helping children combat cancer through holistic nutrition. Cuddles has partnered with top government hospitals and charity cancer treatment centers to address the nutrition gap in Indian childhood cancer care. Through their FoodHeals® Program, Cuddles provides year-round holistic nutrition support to children and their families in 40+ hospitals across India.

Through this fundraiser, I invite you to join me in spreading love, compassion, and dignity where it’s needed most — by supporting Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care’s Educational and Health Care and Cuddles Foundation Initiatives.

Appeal

These include a science college, secondary & higher-secondary schools, a residential primary & secondary school, and a vocational training center for rural youth.

Impact So Far:
* Support provided to over 150 government schools
* Over 2.8 million students positively impacted

SHRIMAD RAJCHANDRA JIVADAYA TRUST
shrimad Rajchandra animal hospital will be a 150-bed hospital equipped with top-class facilities and a dedicated team of veterinarians and ancillary staff. It will also provide holistic medical care alongside conventional medicine for the care and upkeep of animals.

Childhood cancer can be cured. But for children in India, it’s a very different story. Lack of access to timely treatment and malnutrition among those seeking treatment makes survival difficult for children.
~76,000 adolescents (age 0-19) may develop cancer every year in India of which ~ 40% are malnourished at diagnosis. Malnutrition has a serious impact on cancer treatment, because treatments like chemotherapy may lead to side effects, complications, risk of infections, etc.

Cuddles Foundation is India's only NGO dedicated to helping children combat cancer through holistic nutrition. Cuddles has partnered with top government hospitals and charity cancer treatment centers to address the nutrition gap in Indian childhood cancer care. Through their FoodHeals® Program, Cuddles provides year-round holistic nutrition support to children and their families in 40+ hospitals across India.

The funds raised via Tata Mumbai Marathon will contribute to supporting hundreds of children at our partner hospitals in Mumbai with ration bundles, supplements, meals & counseling.

Every step you take and the donation you make will be a direct source of nourishment, hope, and healing for little cancer warriors who just can’t wait to get well and be kids again.
