“Active Desi” is a social group initiated in Charlotte NC, whose mission is to focus on fitness, well-being and active lifestyle for people of South Asian origin living abroad. Needless to say, this challenge is open to EVERYONE because our goal is to promote a healthy lifestyle by bringing this event to our entire community.
Under the “Miles For Greater Good” program, we periodically organize events and challenges that are exercise, fitness or wellness related and contribute to the greater good.
Our fourth event under the "Miles for Greater Good" series is “7.77 miles for Greater Good.” Join us in this worthy cause to support our "running Warrior" Smita Warrier as she embarks on an epic world race to run - “7 Marathons in 7 continents in 7 days” and raise money to support “SAKHI“ - an organization based in the slums of Mumbai, India.

Registration starts on Oct 1, 2024, and ends on Nov 10, 2024.
Each participant will receive a completion medal. Rest of the proceeds will be contributed to “Miles for Change” to distribute to the charity mentioned.
SAKHI
SAKHI’s mission is to create quality learning spaces at the community level, so that every girl in the slums of Mumbai and rural villages of Osmanabad, India, will get an opportunity to continue her education with confidence.
