📢 DECLARATION / DISCLAIMER:

This is a VIRTUAL RUN – I run in my local neighborhood.
Every real kilometer I run is mapped onto a global route.
The locations mentioned are virtual locations on the map, not my physical location.

📊 TODAY'S PROGRESS:

✅ +15.3 km added over the last 3 days (real running)
✅ Virtual total now: 570 km
✅ Leg 1 (Asia): 570 km toward Istanbul
✅ Countries crossed virtually: India 🇮🇳 → Pakistan 🇵🇰

THE STORY BEHIND THE RUN:

Four years ago, we lost our daughter Ojal. She was eight years old. Brain tumor.

I run so no other family has to feel this loss. I run because her fight deserved more research, more awareness, more hope.

Every real kilometer I run moves the pin forward on the world map. Right now, my virtual location is 42 km past Lahore, Pakistan – approaching the historic town of Sheikhupura, getting closer to Islamabad every day.

🏥 PEDIATRIC CANCER CENTERS IN LAHORE REGION (VIRTUAL LOCATION):

As I continue through Punjab, Pakistan on this virtual journey, I want to shine a light on the incredible institutions fighting childhood cancer:
