About Me

Hello! I’m Smriti Shetty, participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026 to raise funds for the Magician Foundation.

We’ve all been privileged to have access to education, guidance and opportunities. But I am also acutely aware that not everyone is as fortunate as us and I am hoping to use my energy and my network of family and friends to help those who suffer from lack of access and opportunity.

By joining this run, I hope to mobilise support not just from myself, but from friends, family and everyone who believes in the simple idea that every child deserves a fair start. I hope you’ll join me in supporting Magician Foundation’s mission and together we can help unlock potential and build brighter futures.

Magician Foundation works to empower underprivileged children, especially those from Mumbai's low-income communities and slums, through education, life-skills development and sports, particularly using rugby to build confidence, teamwork and resilience.

The foundation aims to motivate children from disadvantaged backgrounds to complete their education and equip them with skills that help them navigate life better and pursue brighter opportunities.

With your support, Magician Foundation can deliver regular life-skills and sports-based sessions, facilitate participation in tournaments, and extend coaching, mentorship and support by giving children and youth a real chance at hope, dignity and a better future.

Appeal

I believe that every child and young person deserves a fair chance at a bright future, no matter their background. We are all aware of how limited opportunities, lack of resources or guidance can hold back potential.

By donating to Magician Foundation, you’re contributing to real change, the kind that helps children and youth build skills, confidence and hope. Your support can enable education, mentorship, safe spaces and pathways to a better life for those who need it most. Together we can help transform lives and create a ripple effect of opportunity, dignity, and hope.

I am running in the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2026 to help raise funds to support this cause because running is not just about the finish line. It’s about bridging the gap between opportunity and aspiration for many young lives.
