Pune to kolhapur intercity run – 220Kms
BlueBrigade Runs to “Beat Diabetes”
Those who understand others’ pain are human……Those who extend a hand to help to ease that pain may be termed as Angels. Here, there’s an arm and some legs extended in support…To beat diabetes……
Mr Ajay Desai formed the Bluebrigade Running Club in 2016 to impart the benefits of running to others based on his own experiences..Bluebrigade helps people of all ages and abilities to develop a taste of running to get fitter and stronger.
As a part of this endeavour, Bluebrigade brave hearts embarked on a 220km intercity ultramodern run from Pune to Kolhapur. The entrouge consisted of: Mr Ajay Desai, Founder of Bluebrigade, Mr Aziz Master, Running Coach, Mr Prashant Pethe, Sailor, Movie Producer, Writer,… Mr Shyamal Mondal, Fitness coach, Ms Preeti Mhaske, National Cyclist, and Mr Vikas Solanki . Along with them few more members completed 100km run. A sizeable amount collected through this Marathon was donated to Nityaasha Foundation .Bluebrigade appealed to the general public also to donate to this organisation.
Mr Ajay Desai struggled a lot due to the diabetes brought on partially due to family history and then due to lifestyle. Running helped him manage his diabetes well and would now like to pass on this important message to all other diabetes patients.
Nityaasha Foundation is a registered charitable trust (80G certified) which works for children with Type1Diabetes from the economically weaker section of our society from in and around Pune.
The Foundation supports them by providing them with free medical aid and takes care of their Annual check ups, social counselling along with continuous monitoring and educating by regular Home visits and follow up calls to make them capabale to manage this disorder and lead a normal life.
