When I came out of my house, I didn’t know what my future held for me. All I wanted was to get away from the continuing violence. However, at Urja I have come to see what a happy and fulfilling life looks like. Practicing and running marathons have acted as a tool for building my resilience in tough times. I needed this resilience to face the challenges while navigating educational opportunities and livelihood parallelly. Now I am much more prepared to face the challenges ahead. I have participated in the Indian Navy Half Marathon, in Mumbai. This time I will run the Tata Mumbai Marathon to test my resilience. I along with other women of Urja are participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon 2023\4 and would really appreciate your support in collecting the amount for myself and my peers. I would really appreciate it if I can garner your support so that I and many young women like myself can receive the support, and take steps to stand up for ourselves in the face of injustice and inequality.
