Akshara completed here first 10KM run as part of the San Francisco Marathon on Jul 23, 2023 . I am happy and proud of her achievement.
She did this as part of BARFI program and raised 2696 USD to support farmers in India. Since farmers (in India) are impacted directly because of severe weather events, the funds will help organizations working for farmers to raise the awareness and drawing governments attention towards the need of safety programs. I would like to thank all folks in our circles who made the donations to encourage her as well as to support the cause.
From the time she registered to the event, she was very much interested in it and would get up early in the morning for the weekend runs with the BARFI group.
She was nervous as well as excited on the day of the run. The fact that she had prepared well ahead of the event helped in reducing the nervousness.
This aspect of being disciplined and thorough in her preparations, I believe she picked up from her mom.
