MUMBAI: More than 8,000 people will start their new year with the Hiranandani Powai Run, powered by The Times of India, the lead cause of which is education for the girl child.

Organized by the Rotary Club of Mumbai Lakers on January 4, the run will be held for the fourth year. Runners can take part in any of the three categories: half marathon of 21km, Hiranandani Hop of 10km and a lakers' trail of 4km.

This time, the main cause of the event is Vidyasha, a project that targets to educate 500 girls. "But the funds that we collect will also be used for other projects that the club has already undertaken or will start," said Deepak Daryanani, CEO, Powai Run. Among the other projects are setting up of solar electricity facility in villages, eye camps, computer centres for underprivileged kids, support centre for special kids and aid for an orphanage for girls.

Several non-profit organizations are also part of the event, some of them being Udaan and Vidya which work for the education of underprivileged children, MBA Foundation that provides care to adults with special needs, Volunteer for Better India, which promotes the Save Aarey group, and Go Beyond that trains slum kids to run. Twenty-five visually impaired kids will walk in the 4km slot.

The event will not be without some fun. "A breakfast and a brunch will be organized at an open-air cafe. There will be music, performers and games for children," said Daryanani.
