The Namma Marathon is a unique initiative dedicated to running for a cause, promoting fitness, and giving back to society. Unlike traditional annual marathons, this event focuses on a different social cause each year. This year, the spotlight is on raising awareness and support for dialysis care, helping those battling kidney disease.
Open to participants of all ages and fitness levels, the marathon offers a 3K fun run for beginners and families, while experienced runners can take on the 5K and 10K challenges. Whether you're here for the cause, the competition, or the community spirit, the Namma Marathon is more than just a race—it's a movement toward a healthier, more compassionate society.
The run is set to take place at GKVK (Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra), Bengaluru, a scenic and eco-friendly venue known for its lush greenery and open spaces. Running at GKVK offers a refreshing experience, with clean air, tree-lined paths, and a peaceful environment that enhances endurance and mental well-being. Studies show that running in green spaces reduces stress, improves cardiovascular health, and boosts overall fitness. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time participant, GKVK provides the perfect setting to challenge yourself while embracing the benefits of outdoor running.
"Run for a cause, stride for change—every step you take makes a difference!"
The cost of kidney dialysis in India varies based on factors such as the type of dialysis, healthcare facility, and location.
Hemodialysis, the more common form, typically ranges from ₹1,500 to ₹4,000 per session, amounting to ₹18,000 to ₹40,000 per month and ₹2,16,000 to ₹4,80,000 annually.
To make dialysis more accessible for underprivileged communities, we are supporting a unit that offers treatment at a highly subsidized cost.
Patients can receive dialysis at the minimum price covering only the cost of consumables. This initiative ensures that essential care is available to those in need without financial hardship.
