I’m thrilled to be running for The Retreat in the 2026 New York City Marathon!

After my childhood friend was killed by her boyfriend, I found myself overwhelmed by "what ifs?" These questions led me to pursue a law degree, where I have spent considerable time over the last two years researching and writing about how our systems have continuously failed and prevented women & girls from getting the help they so desperately need and deserve. 

I am running with The Retreat to raise money for an organization that shares my passion for this cause and works from all angles to protect victims, prevent, and respond to domestic abuse and beyond. 

Supporting survivors and preventing domestic abuse and its escalation are causes near and dear to my heart, so to be working with such a wonderful organization is truly an honor. 

Every donation helps me reach my fundraising goal and, more importantly, directly supports survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking. 

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. 
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort! 

Love,

India
