This year marked the 9th participation of Hamaara Sapna’s 170 beneficiaries in the Mumbai Marathon, and the 6th year of their involvement in the TATA Mumbai Marathon. Around 170 women were registered and attended the event. They gathered at the Azad Maidan tent by 6:45 am, full of enthusiasm and energy. The day began with a lively Zumba warm-up session led by Gagan Singh Chauhan, where everyone enjoyed following his dance steps. The women then began marching toward the starting point, accompanied by the sound of the holy shankh, chanting prayers, Surya Namaskar, patriotic songs, and inspiring quotes. The excitement was palpable as the race began at 8:15 am. With a strong desire to finish ahead, they walked the 5.9 km Dream Run, while also participating in various activities along the way. These included signing a campaign supporting the cause of child abuse, dancing to Marathi Lazim and Punjabi Bhangra, enjoying a performance by the Navy singing troupe, and engaging in fun moments with children. The women also recharged with energy drinks provided by the promoters and quenched their thirst with free Bisleri water. The proud moment came when they received their medals. After returning to the tent, they enjoyed a range of activities including games, leg massages provided by blind therapists from NAB India, and the joy of relieving sore muscles. Additional delights included getting temporary tattoos, hairbands, and turbans made of colorful beads. Finally, the women were treated to refreshing snacks by the TATA Mumbai Marathon organizers, leaving them with cherished memories of a day full of joy, community spirit, and accomplishment.
