This year's DNA iCan Marathon is all about women standing up for themselves, but it transcends that in its support for the cause of cancer awareness
CARE24
Garima Tripathi started Care24 with Vipin Pathak. She undertook this venture to provide 'in-home patient care' in India after she had a hard time finding the right caregivers for her parents while she was studying in the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Being a woman who stood up for herself and made the lives of the senior citizen in need of medical attention easier, is also a part of DNA iCan marathon. This year, the marathon is about women running for themselves, and Tripathi's story resonates with the cause.
Care24 also specialises in cancer care, a definite need of our time.

BRIGHT
We are proud to be associated with the DNA iCan event for the last few years, and we are happy to get the opportunity this year as well. I believe women empowerment is one of the important factors that will contribute to the betterment of society. Therefore, it is our responsibility to support the events that promote this. Our brand has always supported causes dealing with development, be it supporting foundations for cancer aid, or various NGO's working on women's issues. It is a vital part of our CSR initiatives and we aim to achieve it by supporting DNA iCan Women's Marathon. We will continue supporting this venture and being part of it in the future as well.

MICKEY MEHTA
Psychological preparation:
Of all the running events, the marathon presents the greatest challenges for participants, both physically and mentally.
Meditation can help a runner focus on his or her goals. The benefits are greater when continued for a period of time. Like the body, the mind gets stronger with consistency. We tap into our inner strength and connect with our inherent confidence. Thus, the mind becomes an ally and a tool in our running.
Don't run with your legs, run with your mind.
Let your extraweight be minimised, let life be once again naturalised, getmickeymised!!!

&TV'S SUMAN
Suman from Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi personifies empowerment! More and more women are taking it upon themselves to propagate empowerment and, in the process, are becoming personifications of empowerment. Suman Parmar (Sonali Nikam) from &TV's Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi is one such example. A widow who not just takes care of her child and family, butalso runs a parlour and pursues MBA to secure her future.
"Women are multi-taskers who can manage homes and careers both. DNA iCan Marathon promotes this and calls for women to run for themselves," says actress Sonali Nikam.
Follow Suman's journey in Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi every Monday to Friday at 7.30 pm only on &TV
