It has been record-breaking season at the landmark 10th edition of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon. The international elite athletes set the ball rolling on Race Day by lowering the course records for men and women on January 20, 2013. This momentum has been carried forward in the charity drive associated with the event, resulting in an exponential record-breaking increase in the amounts raised for charity, befitting the 10th anniversary of this unique event for which John Abraham is the event ambassador
The charity figures were announced by Dr. Indu Shahani, Chairperson, United Way of Mumbai at a special function held to felicitate the fund raisers at the Trident, Nariman Point on Wednesday.
