Event Description
Join us for the VIRTUAL ONLY--Breathe for Suvarna 2026 - 5K Walk/Run! This virtual race is held in honor of Suvarna Gole, whose strength, resilience, and love continue to inspire us all. This event will take place just days before Suvarna's birthday on April 22nd and will serve as a celebration of her life and her perseverance in fighting MAC, the devastating disease that she battled.
Suvarna never let her complications define her, and she remained deeply compassionate and dedicated to caring for others throughout her life. Let us carry on her legacy and honor her as we raise funds for NTM Info and Research (NonTuberculous Mycobacteria Info and Research) (ntminfo.org). Whether you choose to walk or run, your participation will help fund research, support patients, and advance education for lung disease, as all proceeds from this event will be donated to them.
Your donations will be 100% tax deductible as well.
Much of Suvarna's life was dedicated to the art of breathing through the practice of pranayama. MAC, unfortunately, took that breath away from her. Let us come together through this fundraising event to Breathe for Suvarna!
