Suman Nagarkar runs for a cause

Actress Suman Nagarkar, who was last seen in

Babru

, is known to be quite the fitness freak. An ardent runner, the

actress

is using this passion for a cause. Suman and her husband Gurudeva Nagararaja are part of a 20-member group that has begun a cause called

RUN2FEED

, wherein they run 20 kilometres every day for 20 days.
Suman says, “We began on July 1. The aim is to urge people to donate to the cause of

migrant workers

and other needy people, who despite lockdown relaxations have not yet been able to return to normalcy and find regular livelihoods. Our appeal is for people to check out the official page of the cause, choose a particular runner and support him/her with whatever donation they deem suitable. All that we are asking is that you offset the money you would have normally spent to meet someone for coffee, a birthday party or a movie outing and channel it to the cause, so that we can put a smile on some faces by putting food on their table. All donations go to a trust, which utilises the funds to feed daily-wage workers and other needy, as well as kids at an orphanage run by them. In only three days we have been able to collect Rs 3 lakh and are hoping to do a lot more for the cause," she says.

Running 20-km in a day has not exactly been easy, adds Suman, considering that it's been raining on some days. But the satisfaction of getting her daily workout and supporting a cause in the process is what is keeping her going.
