Tamil
film-maker
Venkat
Prabhu
and
actor
Kreshna
Kulasekaran
have
extended
their
support
to
a
crowdfunding
campaign
by
Adventures
Beyond
Barriers
Foundation
(ABBF),
which
will
benefit
India's
blind
tandem
cycling
team.
ABBF,
brainchild
of
Divyanshu
Ganatra,
who
lost
his
eyesight
to
glaucoma
at
19,
is
committed
to
spreading
awareness
and
the
desire
to
spread
the
spirit
of
empathy,
proving
that
world
views
that
see
disability
as
stigma
are
antiquated,
misplaced
and
belong
decidedly
in
the
past.
The
team,
comprising
Gagan
Grover
and
Divyanshu,
will
ride
550
km
from
Manali
to
Khardung
La
from
August
29
to
September
3.
Both
Venkat
Prabhu
and
Kreshna
tweeted
in
support
of
the
campaign,
urging
people
to
donate
for
the
cause.
The
cost
of
the
expedition
is
Rs
670,000,
out
of
which
Rs
350,000
for
the
bike
and
accessories
is
sponsored
by
GIANT
cycles.
ABBF
hopes
to
raise
the
rest
of
the
money
via
this
campaign.
This
cycling
trip
will
be
made
into
a
documentary
in
order
to
help
other
disabled
people
explore
adventure
sports.
