About Me

My name is Ayush Kumar.

I am many things
an actor, a YouTuber, a trader, a person constantly pushing limits
but in the last few years, running shaped me in a different way.

Running didn’t just happen to me.
It became a discipline, a therapy, a mirror, and a way to heal parts of me I never spoke about.

I’ve run when my mind was heavy,
I’ve run when life felt directionless,
and I’ve run on days where the road was the only thing that made sense.

Running didn’t come to me because I wanted medals.
It came because I needed discipline.
Because I needed a way to fight my own chaos and convert it into strength.

Some people meditate.
I run.

From training sessions, to preparing for races like the Delhi Half , Kolkata 25K, Mumbai 42k
I’ve learned that running isn’t about speed
it’s about clarity.

It taught me to look at life not as a sprint,
but as something you conquer step by step
mile by mile, breath by breath.

TMM 2026 — RUNNING FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T

I am Ayush, and I’m running the TMM 2026 with a purpose that goes beyond finish lines, medals, or personal bests.

Some people run to win.
I run to heal — people and animals.

Because pain does not choose species.
Vulnerability doesn’t care whether you walk on two legs or four.



WHY I’M SUPPORTING KARUNYA TRUST

Across Maharashtra, some of the most marginalized communities live in a daily battle for survival —
children affected by HIV/AIDS , families of rag pickers , and tribal groups living far from society and opportunity.

These are communities who never asked to be on the edge.
They were born there.

Through TMM 2026, we aim to support them in the areas that matter most:

Education — A dignified start

Tuition support
Books, stationery, uniforms
Keeping children in school instead of on the streets

Livelihood Support — Stability for families

Skill development
Small business support
Helping parents build a steady source of income

Healthcare & Nutrition — The foundation of life

Medical checkups
Medicines
Nutritious meals to prevent disease and long-term damage

Shelter & Safety — A roof that protects

Tribal children often live in unsafe, unstable structures, exposed to harsh weather and wildlife.
We want to change that — brick by brick, bed by bed.

Karunya Trust doesn’t just give relief
they give dignity.

MY OTHER PURPOSE — ANIMALS WHO HAVE NO VOICE

I have a soft spot for street dogs.
Their loyalty is raw, unfiltered, and honest —
unlike humans, they never pretend.

When I feed a stray, everything becomes quiet.
There’s no camera, no applause, no audience.
Just a moment of real connection

I’ve seen what happens when dogs don’t get help:

Puppies born and abandoned
Dogs hit by vehicles and left on the road
Sick animals dying slowly because no one cared
Rabies spreading because vaccinations were ignored

One sterilization.
One vaccine.
One treatment.

It can literally save a life.

This isn’t charity.
It’s responsibility.

We built the roads.
We built the traffic.
We built the concrete jungle.

They’re just trying to survive in the world we created.



WHY I SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE WSD

There are people who talk about compassion
and there are people who do the work.

Welfare of Stray Dogs (WSD) does the work:

Sterilization & Vaccination of street dogs
Emergency treatments
Volunteers who don’t ask “Who will pay?
They ask: “Where is the dog?

Compassion is not a quote.
it is action.



HOW YOU CAN HELP

Just like running, you don’t have to start big.

A 25K is completed step by step.
Saving lives is done ?10, 50, 100 at a time.

For Children & Families (Karunya Trust)

300–500 = stationery + basic school supplies
800–1000 = nutrition for a child for weeks
2500–5000 = small livelihood support
8000–20000 = shelter improvement for tribal families

For Street Animals (WSD)

100 = meal for a stray
300–500 = medicines
1200–1800 = sterilization
300 = rabies vaccine
2500+ = emergency treatment

You don’t donate to fix the whole world.
You donate to fix one moment of suffering

And trust me,
for the child who eats today,
or the dog who gets saved
that is the whole world.



FROM ME TO YOU

I am Ayush Kumar.
I’ve fallen, I’ve risen, I’ve been loved, I’ve been hated.
I’ve watched life break people — humans and animals —
and yet I’ve seen kindness win.

Every rupee, every share, every gesture matters.

Let’s run farther.
Let’s love louder.
Let’s protect those who can’t protect themselves.

Together, through TMM 2026,
we can transform lives —
one child, one dog, one act at a time.
