Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024

OSCAR (Organisation for Social Change, Awareness, and Responsibility) Foundation's mission particularly appealed to me as it aims to address the importance of education through the game of football. They work with children from disadvantaged backgrounds like child labourers, kids exposed to substance abuse, child brides, differently-abled children and children who are highly likely to drop out of school. They strive to instil in the children, a love for school through football. With a slogan like "Education with a kick" and a primary policy "No school, No football", I was hooked right away as I firmly believe no childhood should be robbed of education or play. During the year of 2018-2019: - 3,417 children have benefitted out of which 1,187 are girls. - 31 communities in Mumbai were reached out to - 96% of OSCAR kids attend school regularly A testimony of the impact that OSCAR has had is the winning of the DANA cup trophy in Denmark by the Under 16 girls football team from the slums of Mumbai on 26th July 2019. The team comprising of players from Ambedkar Nagar slums in Mumbai and rural Jarkhand beat formidable teams of Norwegian girls. Their love for football saved them from early marriage and helped them remain in school. I am inspired by their story and hope you will be too. So I humbly request you to open your hearts and help me reach my target and also spread the word. I am grateful for whatever you give, no amount is too small. Thank you!

About Me
Hello! I am Adi Gupta, a 16-year-old at Oberoi International School, Mumbai. I am a passionate sportsman and regularly swim and play football. At my school, we are encouraged to observe, reflect and take action with a view to making a positive impact on our community. Likewise, at home, being grateful and charitable are 2 values that have been instilled in me. Last year, I raised funds for the Kerala flood victims (Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund) by selling brownies door to door in my neighbourhood. I was inspired by the generosity of my neighbours and have set myself a personal challenge to run my first ever marathon to raise funds and spread awareness. To achieve this, I intend to train regularly to compete in a meaningful way.
