Had a great time in Mumbai Marathon 2010. We as a group every year volunteer for the Wheel Chair Event in Mumbai Marathon. The fund raised by this is donated for the education of 2 kids in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra. This time we were in all 11 volunteers. Our main activity was to guide all the wheel chair participants and their attendees to proper location in Holding area, the area where all people are gathered before the race. Then moving them towards the start line, called as Line-Up Process. Then after the flag-down move back to finish line and greet them at the end of the race and move them back to the Holding area for refreshments and sent-off.
Although they all were not physically fit but their mental strength and enthusiasm was so high so that they can beat the normal people. A usual smile to them is returned back with a warm smile and sometimes with warm hug too... I enjoyed a lot with them...
Also we had Genelia D'souza as the celebrity for wheel chair event. So it was like icing on the cake... Uploaded few of my pics on the picasa which can be accessed here...
