Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and supporting Kidsout.org.uk charity.

I have a vivid memory of visiting an orphanage as a child, growing up in India. What I saw that day shaped who I am today. I feel privileged to be able to help bring babies into the arms of loving parents, as an obstetrician and fertility specialist. I am forever grateful to my parents for instilling in me the values of giving more than you receive, and bringing smiles to those less fortunate.

Children and their childhoods are our most precious treasure. A nurturing, loving childhood doesn't just shape a child's future — it shapes the future of nations, and defines our humanity.

I would be so grateful if you could join me in this challenge — an ambitious hike to Kilimanjaro — by sponsoring my fundraising efforts. Together, we can bring smiles and love to the many children still waiting to be cuddled, cherished, and given the chance to shine. Every child deserves this. It is not a privilege — it is a basic human right.
