Every year, on a chilly Sunday January morning, thousands of Mumbaikars take to the streets to promote sports and fitness with the annual Mumbai Marathon. The event that witnessed over 46,000 people in the 2019, the number is expected to only grow this year. The most interesting part of Mumbai Marathon is the diversity in participating brands and communities and the causes they support.
This year, Divyanshu Ganatra, a visually impaired adventure enthusiast and India's first blind solo paraglider, will be running to promote the importance of sports in a specially-abled person’s life. Ganatra, who is a founder of a non-profit organisation, would be running with nine other visually impaired participants in the marathon this year. And he would be running for what his organisation stands for–to promote inclusivity through adaptive adventure and sports activities.
