In order to lend a helping hand to a fallen mate, members of Indirapuram Runners (IPR), a group of regular runners from in and around Indirapuram, are set to organise a charity running event in Indirapuram. The event includes a 10 km and a 5 km run, and a 3 km walkathon on the morning of July 30.
The event named “Run for a runner” is for Deepak Muduli, a resident of Express Garden in Indirapuram and an integral member of IPR who met with a car accident on March 2 while driving with his colleagues on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Muduli is an IT professional.
The accident left Muduli with severe injuries on his head and in his ribs. Despite several surgeries, Deepak has been in a coma since then and has been undergoing treatment at his home. Apart from the expenses for a 24x7 attendant, the family is also faced with steep expenses of medicines and other requisites.
Shruti, a member of IPR, told City Spidey that the run is being conducted in order to raise funds for Muduli and members are already doing their bit to individually collect money for his treatment.
Members of IPR refer to Muduli as a strong runner who participated in most running events before he met with the accident.
Speaking to City Spidey, Manjulika Muduli, Muduli’s wife, said, “Deepak's treatment is showing very slow progress and doctors have also told the family that he could take a lot of time to recover.”
Meanwhile, fellow members of the runners group are hoping for a quick recovery so that Muduli can refill the gap in their running team.
