Srividya Balaji's fundraiser for Vibha Striders

Fundraising for Vibha Striders 2025

Running for a Cause to Empower Futures

I’m excited to be part of the Vibha Striders Half Marathon journey -- a challenge that pushes me physically, mentally, and emotionally, all while supporting a cause that’s close to my heart. Through this experience, I’ve come to realize that running is not just about the miles—it’s about growth, resilience, and personal reflection. Every step I take brings me closer to both my own goals and a greater purpose. It has been incredibly inspiring to be surrounded by a community that motivates each other to step outside our comfort zones and celebrate our collective accomplishments.

The most powerful part of this experience is knowing that the funds we raise go towards providing quality education for underprivileged children. Every mile run and every dollar raised represents hope, opportunity, and a chance for these children to break the cycle of poverty and create a better future for themselves. By donating to my fundraiser, you’ll be helping make a lasting impact on a child’s education and opening doors to opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach.

This journey is about more than just running. It’s about coming together to make a real difference for children who deserve a brighter tomorrow. Together, we can achieve something extraordinary as we empower the next generation.
