Indain origin doctors sets out for charity bike ride in Glasgow to support unprevilleged in Kerala, India: 50 Kms challenge thru BMCF for Muthukad’s centre for 1000 differently abled children
Autumn has arrived in the UK after a good sunny summer, signalling the anticipatory arrival of bitter weather conditions of winter in a couple of months time. Amongst the lengthy stretch of British isles from north to the south, Scotland often bears the brunt of extreme winter weather due to its geographic location. Temperatures have started dipping down from double to single digits with the cold breeze emerging from the artic starting to embrace the Scottish islands. Although the bright summer days are began to fade , a few doctors in Scotland have come out with bright rays of hope for many disadvantaged children living thousands of miles away. Changing weather conditions are never a hindrance for these good Samaritans serving in different health boards there to take up an open road bike challenge for a noble cause . While leading busy professional lives, they have decided to dedicate some considerable time and efforts for the underprivileged by way of a 50 Kms bike ride challenge through ‘National Cycle Route 7’, a scenic traffic free cycle path from/to Glasgow Green to Loch Lomond on Sunday, 28th September 2025.
The project known as ” BMCF- Scot Indian Medics bike ride appeal to support DAC, Kerala, India” has been designed to raise crucial funds for the International Institute for differently abled Children at Kasaragod, Kerala, India – a world-class centre offering care, education and empowerment to differently abled children, initiated by humanitarian turned well known magician Mr. Gopinath Muthukad. This new centre is designed to offer developmental support opportunities for around 1000 affected children.
This bike ride challenge will undertake under the guidance of Mr Srihari Vallabhajousula- a Consultant general surgeon and a cycling enthusiast . Other participants include doctor couple Dr Geetika Sharma- general practictioner & her husband Mr Likhith Alakandy- a consultant neurosurgeon, Dr Susan Romel- Consultant SRH and Dr Rajmohan Padmanabhan- Consultant Anaesthetist .Taran Rajmohan- a Glasgow University student and Dr Rajmohan Padmanabhan’s son also will join them in this event.
The Indian medics came out with this idea in the firm belief that Mr. Muthukad’s initiative would go a long way in providing much needed support and progress in the societal lives of these beautiful children.
The fundraising is conducted in conjunction with British Malayali Charity Foundation, one of the largest community charity foundations in the UK- a voluntary collective, which has already distributed over £ 1.6 million in India, UK and internationally to various deserving causes .
