We would like to thank Neena / Dipak Sheth and Priti/Atul
Kothari for hosting the first ever Step Forward 5K Run/Walk
for the benefit of Lend A Hand India. Our sincere thanks to all
who joined and raised funds for Lend A Hand India.
Saheli Kothari came up with the name "Step Forward" for this event
signifying the step forward for thecommunity into the fitness and
health as well for all the poor kids in India to whom the money
raised would benefit. Hence on a beautiful fall morning on Oct 24,
2010 over 180 people the community gathered in FDR Park in Westchester
New York for the first ever such event.
The specially designed "Step forward" orange t-shirts matched very
well with the fall colors of the leaves all around the park. The
atmosphere was festive with Bollywood and Bhangra music by the DJ,
breakfast and lunch served by Masala Kraft, a juggler - Michale
Dubois entertaining participants. After finishing some stretching
the group took off for the run.
The course had cheerleaders organized by the volunteers of Lend
A Hand India as well as water and snack stations. After the intense
competition, Amay Sheth won the youth category finishing
the run I 19 min. and 20 seconds, Rushabh Parikh won the
men's category and Seema Mehta won the women's. To add to
the excitement, a donor announced to match dollar for dollar all
the funds raised for this race.
