Two months back, when Mumbai and some of the worst-affected neighbouring districts were struggling with lack of beds and equipment at the dedicated COVID-19 hospitals, a group of 10 friends took it upon themselves to provide free-of-cost medical care to the patients left in the lurch. They ended up helping more than 800 people across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Palghar.

Brought together by their common passion -- cycling, the friends from Virar learnt about the struggles of several COVID-19 patients, and decided to help as many as possible by providing home care. Though only two of them are from the health care sector, others learnt the basics of medical care.
