Mumbai: Spykar, the trendsetting fashion brand, is proud to announce its collaboration with the Hands of Hope Foundation for the upcoming Tata Mumbai Marathon, slated for Sunday, 21 Jan. Hands of Hope Foundation is dedicated to combating child sexual abuse, and this partnership with Spykar is poised to deliver a substantial and meaningful impact in the fight against this critical issue.

Leading the charge is Rajan Mittal, our esteemed group head, who will be running the entire marathon to champion the cause. In solidarity, 20 to 25 Spykar employees will also be participating, collectively running in support of the foundation's mission.

Child sexual abuse is a pervasive and distressing issue affecting countless lives. It encompasses various forms of non-consensual sexual activities involving children, leaving deep physical, emotional, and psychological scars. The Tata Mumbai Marathon serves as a critical platform for Spykar and Hands of Hope Foundation to spotlight this issue, fostering awareness and dialogue.

Spykar CEO Sanjay Vakharia expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, "By openly addressing child sexual abuse, we aim to break the silence, dispel shame, and empower communities to recognize signs, provide support, and take preventive measures. Our collective goal is to create an environment where survivors are heard, believed, and supported. Through initiatives like the marathon, we strive to educate and build a culture prioritizing the well-being of children, ensuring they can grow up free from the devastating impact of sexual abuse. Every step in this marathon represents a stride toward a safer, more aware, and compassionate society.”
