About Me

Hi! I am Akshat Raisurana, a grade 9 student from Bombay International School, Mumbai. Since I was a kid, I've loved playing many different sports and I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to experience these sports. Today I’m pursuing competitive badminton at the state & national level. Along with physical fitness and mental well-being, sports also instill discipline and resilience. I would love to share this experience with others as well.

That’s why I’m supporting Ekam Foundation Mumbai’s Nirmaan program, which provides essential sports kits to children studying in government schools in rural Maharashtra. These young students have the potential and passion for sports but are often held back by the lack of basic resources like shoes, uniforms, and equipment. I’ve chosen to run for this cause at TMM 2026 because I want to use this platform not just to complete a race — but to help unlock opportunities for these children. My goal is to raise 1,50,000 through this fundraiser on United Way of Mumbai, and every rupee will go toward equipping a child with the tools to play, grow, and dream. This cause is deeply meaningful to me, and your support — no matter the amount — can help transform a child's life through the power of sports.

Appeal

Ekam Foundation Mumbai is a Registered Charitable Trust that works for better quality health, education, and well-being of every child irrespective of their economic status, race, and religious background.

Ekam Nirmaan assists education institutions across India in augmenting their equipment and hard infrastructure capacity. It addresses the gaps at the facility level of schools by allocating capital assets and resources for improved service delivery.

I’m raising funds to provide Sports Kits to children studying in government schools in rural India through Ekam Foundation's Nirmaan program. These children have talent, passion, and the drive — but what they lack are the basic resources to pursue sports.

Sports teach discipline, teamwork, and confidence — qualities that shape lives far beyond the playing field. A single kit — shoes, jerseys, balls, and equipment — can open a door for a child to dream bigger, stay healthy, and build a brighter future.

Your support can put a kit — and a smile — in the hands of a child.

My Goal: 1,50,000
What it Funds: Basic sports kits for children in underserved schools

Donation Options:
Rs. 15,000 - one sports kit supporting one govt school

Every step I take on race day will be powered by your kindness. Let’s come together to make sports accessible — not a privilege, but a right.
