Hi all!
My name is Mounika Alluri and I am SO excited to be running the 2022 Chicago Marathon with Asha!
Running a marathon has always been one of my goals and the fact that I get to run my first ever marathon in my favorite city makes the moment even better. My dad ran multiple half marathons and marathons ever since I was young, and has been the biggest inspiration to always give 110% and no dream is ever impossible. Watching my family friend Sanjay, who is a dedicated member of the Asha Chicago chapter, absolutely crush the marathon last year was the one who truly inspired me to not only sign up but to run for a purpose.
Growing up, my family and I would visit India every year during our summer vacations. It was there that I witnessed the struggle that so many children face to get the most basic education. Education should not only be available to those who can afford it but to every single person on the planet, regardless of their socioeconomic background. This is why I am absolutely honored to be running for Asha Foundation where the work they do everyday is ensuring that more underprivileged children are getting the education they deserve.
