I am to peddle to Mumbai supporting a cause and spread awareness among the youth of India to care for the nature and be the change. But to being this ride I need few equipments and a machine (bike), here I request you to sponsor my ride & I’ll carry your brand name with me all the time on my apparels. I’ll carry your name to the peddling ride and to the “Jagriti Yatra” as well which is in total to a 30 days ride by cycle & train of 9,500KMs India wide.
