Warm regards.

MUMBAI MARATHON 2011, PRESS RELEASE
PARTICIPATION BY WAR DISABLED PERSONNEL OF THE WAR WOUNDED FOUNDATION
The Mumbai Marathon 2011 is being held on Sunday 16 January 2011 at Mumbai. This is an annual event, in which participation is usually high.
For the first time, war disabled members of the War Wounded Foundation will be participating in the Marathon. The team of the War Wounded Foundation will be lead by their President, Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi (Age 70) and Vice President Maj Gen Ian Cardozo (Age 73), who are both senior citizens and are themselves war disabled. The rest of the team will consist of one JCO and seven jawans, all war disabled, with disabilities of various percentages and with one or more limb missing in most cases.
The participation by the members of the War Wounded Foundation is primarily for the ‘visibility’ of the Foundation and to highlight the work being done by the Foundation for the long term rehabilitation of all war disabled personnel of the Army, Navy and Air Force. Another aim is to highlight the lack of interest the government takes in assisting the war disabled personnel to lead a dignified and financially secure life.
Any encouragement to the war disabled personnel would be appreciated. You are requested to give wide publicity to this first time participation of the war disabled personnel in this important event.
Thank you and Jai Hind.
Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi
President
